A story of a beautiful young woman in the wrong place, at the worst possible time. Erika Leighton is on vacation with her family in the mountains of Colorado. When she drives to a nearby town to get supplies, she unwittingly steps into a storm of events that threaten to alter her life forever. The name of the little town is Pineview-known for its downhome hospitality, but infamous for a brutal murder years earlier by Butch Snyder, a troubled local boy. Because of an anonymous but very detailed tip, Butch was caught and justice was served. But as the police took him away, Butch swore that he would one day return to exact revenge. Five years later, news of a daring prison escape makes its way to Pineview.
