The lights are going out. Mia Ferguson intends to be somewhere else when they do. She has sold everything, bought a cabin on a remote Alaskan lake, and chartered a bush helicopter to carry her and her twelve-year-old son Mitchell the last eighty miles. Then the sky goes white, the instruments die, and pilot Greg Hatchman puts a dying aircraft into a lake with nothing but skill and thirty-one seconds. They survive the crash. That was the easy part. What waits between them and that cabin is a landscape that was here before the grid and does not require it. Rivers that kill by velocity. Weather that kills by patience. And a twelve-hundred-pound coastal brown bear that has learned something about people it was never supposed to learn.
