It's the 1980's. Before the advent of cell phones and effective satellite phones.

A Californian, Claire Avery, is disillusioned by prospects in northern Alaska. She is determined to escape to Los Angeles but unexpectedly finds herself stranded in the Pacific Northwest forest with a couple of hunters. She is injured and afraid.

What unfolds is an extraordinary story of survival, facing dangers from grizzly bears and crazed moose. It's also a story of personal growth and primal wilderness beauty.
