U.S. Marshal Cain Rippinger wants out of law enforcement. He is through with daring rescues, gunfights and pursing the lawless that stain the Canadian border from Montana to the Pacific Ocean. Just as he's about to catch his last train out of Whitefish, Montana, he receives a call from Glacier National Park Ranger, Jack Martin. Martin needs Rippinger to lead a search and rescue effort for a rouge paraglider lost somewhere along the storm-enshrouded 4,000-foot-high east wall of Mount Gould.
Reluctant to engage, Rippinger agrees. Supported by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, who happened to be evaluating a state-of-the art helicopter across the border, together they fly into the groin of a massive storm raging across the Rocky Mountains. During the most critical part of the mission, the storm mysteriously subsides. It's an unexplainable event. So is the supernatural recollection of the daredevil that Rippinger rescues.
Rippinger surrenders his park position and takes a leave of absence from the Marshals Service. In doing so he trades a gorgeous, and willing, research biologist for a wild train ride home in hope of starting a new life, but it's not to be. He's a marked man bound for a future lined with violence, supernatural encounters and a calling which only heaven can muster.
