Survival. It makes for exciting TV, but all Josh wants a life that passes for normal. A real house, not a cabin in the woods. Hockey, not hunting to put food on the table. Girls. But his half-brother, Nathan, wants to prove himself in the Alaska wilderness, and their father won't let him do it alone. Josh's prospects brighten when an intriguing girl visits remote Willow Creek, but Shannon is entranced with his brother. As Nathan's behavior grows stranger-and more dangerous-Josh confronts the dark side of what it means to be his brother's keeper. "...[A] chilling winter's tale." Publisher's Weekly
