For thirty-five-year-old attorney Ethan Church, Spring Mountain offers a peaceful setting to mourn the loss of his friend and take up the challenge of catching the native brook trout. When his dog, Bishop, responds to screams heard through the trees, Ethan discovers his mentally disturbed neighbor, Molly McCleod, digging in the frozen earth with her bare hands. The encounter leaves Ethan seeking answers to questions he has no business asking.
