A chilling tale of survival set in the savage and untamed wilderness of 1820s Oregon Country. A small company of fur trappers has separated, with plans to rendezvous before winter closes its jaws over Teton Valley. Grey and Moran, two of the trappers, are a day's hike from the rendezvous when a mountain man, in his solitude driven to madness, ambushes them and mortally wounds Moran. Grey must decide whether to carry Moran to the rendezvous, and risk his own survival, or abandon him to the wolves. On their journey, the trappers encounter Indians, zealots, and a mysterious young man and woman, fleeing to escape their past. As winter's promise of cold and death approaches, the struggle for survival leaves little room for friendship. Can the frail bonds which unite them hold, or will they fray and snap in the cold?
