Carter Marshall was born into law enforcement, respected by his peers and the tight-knit community in the Blue Ridge Mountains. But when a reality TV show spirals into violence, leaving Carter gravely injured and ending his career, his life falls apart. Haunted by guilt over a death he couldn't stop, he retreats to his remote mountain property, nursing both physical and emotional wounds.

Rylie Christianson, still reeling from the same tragedy that cost Carter his career, needs the survival show to succeed. She's determined to film on Carter's land, even if the gruff mountain man isn't keen on it. Beneath his rugged exterior, though, she sees a deep sadness—and maybe, a chance for healing.

But when a string of "accidents" on set turns deadly, Carter realizes the danger is no accident. With Rylie in the crosshairs, his instincts kick in: he'll protect her at all costs, even if his peaceful property has become a dangerous venue for deadly revenge.
