One year since she lost her mother to a random shooting, Nora and her father are exploring a slot canyon deep in the Arizona desert.

But when she and her father reach the bottom of the canyon, a flash flood rips past them, sweeping away Nora's father and all of their supplies. Nora finds herself lost and alone in the desert, facing dehydration, snakes, scorpions, and, worst of all, the beast who has terrorized her dreams for the past year. To survive, Nora must find the courage to save herself and her father.or be consumed by her grief and her fear.
