Max Rupert, a former Minneapolis homicide detective, has chosen to live in solitude, grappling with the tragic loss of his wife and the overwhelming guilt of not knowing who killed her. However, his world is turned upside down when his former local sheriff, Lyle Voight, arrives with a desperate plea. Lyle's daughter Sandy and his six-year-old grandson Pip have disappeared, and he believes that Sandy's ex-husband Reed is responsible. However, the new sheriff, who is reluctant to investigate, forces Max to take up the case.

As Max delves deeper into the investigation, he becomes increasingly convinced that something is amiss. Reed, who becomes increasingly elusive as the search intensifies, makes a daring escape into the treacherous Boundary Waters wilderness, with Pip in tow. Max and Lyle, driven by a determination to bring Reed to justice and rescue the child, embark on a perilous hunt within the rugged landscape.

The journey is filled with danger, as Max and Lyle face off against a desperate father who will stop at nothing to protect his child. As they navigate through the rugged terrain, they are haunted by their own pasts, which continue to weigh heavily on them. Despite the odds, Max and Lyle remain steadfast in their pursuit, using their skills and experience to outwit Reed and bring him to justice.

In the end, Max and Lyle are able to rescue Pip and bring Reed to justice. The journey has been a harrowing one, but they have emerged stronger and more determined than ever before. Max Rupert has left his position as a Minneapolis homicide detective to live in solitude. Mourning the tragic death of his wife, he is also racked by guilt-he alone knows what happened to her killer. But then the former local sheriff, Lyle Voight, arrives with a desperate plea: Lyle's daughter Sandy and his six-year-old grandson Pip have disappeared. Lyle's certain Sandy's ex-husband Reed is behind it, but the new sheriff is refusing to investigate. When Max reluctantly looks into their disappearance, he too becomes convinced something has gone very wrong. But the closer Max and Lyle get to finding proof, the more slippery Reed becomes, until he makes a break for the beautiful but formidable Boundary Waters wilderness with vulnerable Pip in tow.
