Now, let me set the scene for you. Picture this: it's November, a month that has brought nothing but pain and heartbreak to our protagonist, Cork O'Connor. After the tragic deaths of his wife, father, and best friend in Novembers past, Cork believes this to be the cruelest of months. So, naturally, his daughter decides to tie the knot during this dismal time. Talk about bad timing.
But things take a turn for the worse when a man goes missing in the treacherous wilderness of Minnesota's Boundary Waters Canoe Area. The search comes up empty, and that's when Cork is approached by the man's family to take matters into his own capable hands. Despite the looming wedding and impending storm, Cork embarks on a perilous journey back to the wilderness.
Meanwhile, his worried family can only wait and wonder. But when they discover Cork's campsite, there's no sign of their beloved father. Instead, they find blood. Lots of it.
