As the evacuation order comes down, Will and Eve find themselves trapped in a deadly game where the enemy isn’t just nature—it’s the people hidden among them. In the next 48 hours, deception runs deep, survival means everything, and the wilderness becomes a battleground. But just when the hunters close in, the tables turn in a twist no one sees coming.
