When Lexi receives an invitation to spend Christmas with her deceased father's family, duty compels her to accept, duty and curiosity. Why, after a quarter-century of silence, does her father's family want to meet her? Told that if she brings the necessary paperwork, she will be given the key providing the answers to her father's estrangement from his family, Lexi makes the flight to Wyoming, determined to learn what happened, all those years ago. She is foiled in her efforts, however, by one who'd rather no one knew the secret that died with Lexi's father, someone willing to kill to keep that secret from being revealed.
