Nate Stewart's six-year-old son is missing-lost in the woods, kidnapped, or worse. Private investigator Dylan Cox, Nate's cousin, takes the case out of compassion for the boy and hopes to gain long-overdue respect from Nate. A resolute city guy from Chicago, Dylan arrives in small-town Salida, Colorado to discover he is out of his league and element. Unexplained deaths, suspicious characters, and criminals obstruct Dylan from learning the truth. Alliances with a wilderness savvy woman, a man on the autism spectrum, and a hard core Sasquatch Believer may be the keys to solving the crime. But Dylan will pay a high price for success.
