Za prudké sněhové bouře se do nevlídné kalifornské vysočiny zřítí soukromé letadlo. Kromě zmrzačených těl posádky se v útrobách vraku skrývá tolik infekčních toxinů, že by mohly vyhladit většinu lidstva. Dva lidé – zkušený horal Kier Wintripp a agentka FBI Jessie Mayfieldová – v bouři náhodou najdou havarované letadlo a odhalí, jaký se v něm skrývá nebezpečný obsah. Právě kvůli tomuto zjištění se vzápětí stanou terčem lidí, kteří se nezastaví před ničím, jen aby pravda o děsivém obsahu letadla zůstala utajena. Zatímco bouře přetrvává, nesourodá dvojice putuje divokou přírodou, aby si před zabijáky-stopaři zachránila holý život. V této drsné krajině však platí zákon silnějšího, a tak přežijí jen lidé obdaření základními instinkty…

The search takes her to his family where she hears of a sister she never knew he had, to New Mexico, where (coincidentally?) she grew up, and finally back to her ex police partner, Genevieve, where all the threads of this brilliantly told novel come together.
