Making a living as a Coast Guard rescue swimmer, Jacob Sanders is in a constant battle against the elements of nature.

The ocean has always fascinated Jacob. Within its embrace, he's healed from the desolation and neglect of his time in the foster system. While his job of rescuing those in peril provides him with a sense of purpose, there is still a void in his soul. When the opportunity for some R&R arises, Jacob escapes to a hot springs resort located just outside Fairbanks, Alaska where he meets Holden. Under the enchantment of the northern lights and shared stories of their adventures, the two quickly bond. After an earthquake devastates the resort, they must navigate their way across the state, back to Jacob's duty station, battling both freezing temperatures and the unpredictable forces of nature.

Will they survive the arduous journey, or will they be ripped apart by the unforgiving power of Mother Nature?
