Winifred Allen requires a vacation.

Stifled by a soul-crushing work, devastated from the death of her beloved brother, and lonely after the end of a fifteen-year marriage, Wini is definitely feeling vulnerable. Therefore when her three about The River during the night best friends insist on a high-octane getaway for their annual girls’ trip, she signals on, despite her misgivings.

What begins as an invigorating walking and rafting excursion in the remote control Allagash Wilderness quickly becomes an all-too-real problem; a freak incident leaves the ladies stranded, separating them from their raft and everything they have to survive. When night descends, a open fire in the mountainside lures them to a ramshackle camp that appears to be their lifeline. But mainly because Wini and her friends grasp the true intent of their intended saviors, long buried secrets emerge and lifelong allegiances are put to the check. To survive, Wini must reach beyond the world she knows to funnel an inner strength she never knew she possessed.
