The weather had been close to perfect, the ski conditions superb, and the accommodations first-rate. Bill and Angie Phillips' week-long vacation at Colorado's Breckenridge Resort could not have been more splendid. That is until their final day.The couple typically skied separate trails on their last downhill run each afternoon. Angie would traverse the easier green or blue slopes, while Bill attempted a more challenging black diamond run. When they finished up, the two would meet back at their rental unit in the Condos at Breckenridge. On their last day at the resort, Bill fails to return from his final ski run down Peak 10. Angie alerts the Breckenridge patrol team, which promptly launches a search and rescue operation to find him. They see no sign of him anywhere on the slopes, however. Follow-up missions that night and the next morning end the same way. Then, Angie discovers her husband's belongings are gone from their condo, sending the mystery in a whole new direction. Bill Phillips is no longer a missing skier, but rather a missing person and the subject of an investigation to be led by Detective Tom Sherman of the Summit County Sheriff's Office. Sherman's first task is to determine if his missing person was abducted or disappeared on his own. It's a question that goes unanswered for several days before agents with the Drug Enforcement Administration uncover a startling lead. They learn that Bill is being held captive by the kingpin of a Mexican drug cartel and that he is scheduled to be transferred to Mexico at any time.It's a race against the clock as Sherman, the FBI and the DEA team up to figure out where Bill Phillips is being held and how to secure his release prior to when he is relocated.
