2021br. Dopo la morte dei nonni che l'hanno cresciuta, Evelyn arriva a Raven's Gap, con tutta la sua vita contenuta in una valigia e uno zaino. Per anni, ad Atlanta, è stata vittima di stalking, esperienza che l'ha segnata profondamente, e adesso vuole solo ricominciare una vita serena, in una piccola città dove la gente non sembra avere altro problema che affrontare il gelido inverno nevoso del Montana. Eppure, poco dopo l'arrivo di Evelyn, le donne della città cominciano a sparire senza lasciar traccia. Evelyn è certa che c'entri Jeff, un uomo che sembra ossessionato da lei; ma, proprio come le è successo ad Atlanta, nessuno le crede. Adesso Evelyn si trova nel mirino di un serial killer a caccia della preda perfetta. Ma questa volta non ha intenzione di diventare una vittima.
