Running from a bogus warrant, on Christmas Eve, she unwittingly turns for help to the last person who would give it, the one person who needs to uncover her identity. No one in the clannish, unfriendly mountain town of Stones Throw will lift a finger to help her when she's arrested for killing Cobb Slocum, the middle man to the black market ring. Enter tall, dark and deadly Rick McCoy, a drifter with secret, fateful ties to Stones Throw. Stacy's only hope lays with the handyman who has been following her, a man who admitted hating Slocum. Unknown to Stacy, she is scheduled to "vanish" ... for good.
