Ryan Quinn is a man haunted by tragedy and despair. The unexpected death of his unborn daughter shatters his world and his marriage. All he has left of his previous life is a quilt sewn by his wife for their daughter. It’s a constant reminder of the life he should have had, the life he so desperately wanted. Trying to set himself free from his torment, he decides to bury the quilt in a grassy meadow in the mountains of Wyoming: the place of his daughter’s conception. But closure is never that easy. On his journey to make peace with his past, Ryan unwittingly becomes the primary suspect for the abduction of a teenage girl. He is dragged into a nightmarish world of vigilante justice, where he not only struggles to prove his innocence, but to survive.
