When ex-serviceman, Jake Cunningham, returns to Alaska, he discovers that his fiancee has left him and he has lost everything—he has no job, no girl, and no prospects for a better future. But all that is about to change…

SYNOPSIS:

After completing an active tour of duty in Iraq, Jake Cunningham returns to small town in Alaska where he discovers that his fiancee, Hannah, has left him for the local sheriff, Michael Richardson—the same man who used to bully Jake back in high school.

Broken and emotionally fragile, Jake retreats into alcoholism and isolation. He spends his days hunting and walking in the woods where he unexpectedly comes across a black wolf caught in a trap. Over the next couple of days, Jake sets the wolf free and feeds it large chunks of elk meat. Slowly, the wolf regains its health and disappears back into the wilderness.

Months later, Jake takes a job as a claims adjuster at an insurance company. One day, he is called in to investigate a car crash. During his investigation, Jake examines one of the trucks involved in the crash and discovers millions of dollars stashed inside the dashboard. Little does Jake realize that this is drug money—money that belongs to a drug cartel.

What follows is a thrilling and suspenseful story filled with crime, murder, and suspense. The stakes have never been higher as a ruthless drug lord attempts to recover his money with a ruthlessness never seen before in small town Alaska. Jake Cunningham is about to go toe-to-toe with the cartels and the man who stole his fiancee—sheriff Michael Richardson. In order to survive, Jake will have to use all his courage to escape the cartel’s bloody hatchet and outwit the local sheriff.

Can Jake outsmart a series deadly and experienced enemies who will stop at nothing to get what they want, or will greed and terror prevail? Whatever happens, blood will be spilled. And in the process, Jake is about to discover that a simple act of kindness is about to be repaid in full...
