Chris Wilkerson's freedom ended one fateful night four years ago. A calamitous confrontation led to consecutive life sentences in federal prison. One charge, for the death of Tesla Dragovic-a lost love from his past-has haunted him ever since. She died that regretful evening in a fire he did not start. Chris longed for justice, but expected to spend the rest of his life behind bars. An apparent twist of fate has presented Chris with an opportunity to change his future. Unbeknownst to Chris is the force behind his ostensible chance to escape. Chris had a decision to make: An unprovisioned escape into the high country of Wyoming ten thousand feet below and a chance for retribution, or life in prison. The choice appeared obvious, but not without peril. The clandestine forces behind his escape are in pursuit-and armed.
