Dispatcher Zak Waller prefers working behind the scenes in the Sheriff's Office of Lost Trail, Montana, but when a newcomer to the sparsely populated town is brutally murdered-and the Sheriff is quick to pin the death on an unknown outsider-Zak starts his own private sleuthing.
On the surface Lost Trail is a picture-perfect western town, offering a simple way of life revolving around the local ranches and ski hill. But almost everyone has a secret to protect, and no one knows that more than Zak. He's part of a younger generation hoping to revitalize the town. But evil has dug in deeper than he knows.
