Former sheriff Cork O'Connor reluctantly agrees to lead a search party to look for Shiloh, a country-western singer who has disappeared into the Quetico-Superior Wilderness on the Canadian/American border, not realizing the young woman is also being hunted by hired men who want her dead.

When the corpse of a beautiful high school student is discovered on a hillside four months after her disappearance on New Year's Eve, all evidence points to her boyfriend, local bad boy Solemn Winter Moon. Despite Solemn's self-incriminating decision to go into hiding, Cork O'Connor, Aurora, Minnesota's former sheriff, isn't about to hang the crime on a kid he's convinced is innocent. In an uphill battle to clear Solemn's name, Cork encounters no shortage of adversity.
