BOOM. With that sound everything changes for Dr. Gina Sullivan, a renowned ornithologist working on the remote island of Attu, Alaska. As an everyday outing turns sinister with the onset of one of Attu's infamous storms, the last thing Gina expects is the small jet plane that crashes into the water mere feet from her boat. Even more unprecedented: there's a sole survivor from the crash - James 'Cal' Callahan, he of brooding eyes and muscled frame, and he needs Gina's help.

Cal knows the plane crash was no accident. Pushing aside the temptation of the arrestingly beautiful bird-watcher, he convinces Gina to return to base camp and help him escape the island. But when Gina makes it safely back to camp and finds her entire team murdered, all bets are off.

As darkness envelops the island, she must decide: trust a man she barely knows, or go it alone and risk running straight into the arms of a killer?
