A disillusioned lawyer and an aspiring journalist are thrown together in the wild, mountainous and unpopulated region of western Maryland in a duel with a terrorist militia organization. The journalist has discovered of their illegal, death dealing operations and plans to expose them. But the militia has learned of her as well, wanting her and anyone with her dead before she can pull off her coup. Their first attempt is very close to successful. She is pretty banged up, but lives with the care and aid of a strange man, living secluded in the mountains. But now, she and her rescuer must flee in front of the militia pursuit, to get past their much better armed and equipped forces who will shoot on sight. They must run, fight, and stay hidden, a difficult task for a person who has just survived a plane crash. The race is on and on the way, the two discover something in the person with whom they are fleeing. Or is it something they discover in themselves? Will they survive to see what it is? It will be difficult. There are many in pursuit and only the two of them.
