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.

“Marshall! Wake up, man! You okay?” The worried voice of his nemesis Detective Peters called down to him.

“Peters! That you?” Carter tested his limbs, and they all seemed to be functional, if in pain.

“I don’t know how you got here when you’re supposed to be on lockdown, but we’re gonna get you both out of there! Can you walk?”

“Yeah, I’m pretty sure.” Carter pulled himself to his feet with the help of the wall. The smoke had gotten pretty thick, making him cough. He pulled the neckline of his hoodie up over his nose. “I gotta get to Rylie! The fire is almost reaching her!”

“If you can get her out of the way, we’ll find a way to pull you both out!”

Peters yelled a few commands to the officers with him that Carter couldn’t quite make out. His focus was only on saving Rylie.

Using the wall for support, he stayed close to the moss-covered stones. The heat became intense as he got closer to where she lay. His injured arm had gone oddly numb, indicating his burn was probably pretty bad.

He’d worry about that later.

By the time he got to Rylie, the flames had spread to within inches of her feet. Using his good arm, he grabbed her by the waist of her jeans and tugged as hard as he could, dragging her to the far side of the room, where the temperature dropped about fifty degrees. Settling into the darkest, dampest corner, he pulled her close, cradling her head against his chest.

“Hang in there, Rylie. You’re gonna be just fine.” He whispered the same phrase over and over again, trying to convince himself it was true as his own vision began to darken and the fire and smoke faded away completely.
