Growing up in 1974, John and his friends were always up for mischief. Each summer, their families would camp a Blue Lake Park in New Hampshire, where the boys would lose all sense of time as they basked in the heat of the summer. Then, from dawn till dusk, John, his little brother Ted, and their three friends, Billy, Mark, and Jack would play in the woods, smoke, or raid neighboring camps. Or they would do all three on the real boring days - and there were plenty of boring days. However, their world begins to change after attending the local fair. After they get jumped by another large gang, John realizes he doesn't want this life anymore. He wants a brighter future than stealing and drugs but doesn't want to leave his friends behind. For every teen, life has its growing pains - but can their friendship withstand the metamorphosis of life?

“The victims weren’t random. These weren’t crimes of opportunity. The kids were chosen. Chloe was chosen.” Tim McAndrews, a top prosecutor in Seattle, knows a self-defense shooting has unjustly tarnished his near-perfect conviction record. Because of it, he fears his career as an assistant district attorney is doomed to go nowhere. But legendary FBI Profiler Elias Cain has offered Tim a job with his team. So as he weighs his options for the future, Tim takes a much-needed ski vacation with his wife and friends to Schweitzer Mountain Ski Resort. A young girl is abducted in front of the resort, and Tim is drawn into the intrigue. When at the Sheriff’s Office, he runs into Elias Cain and learns this girl isn’t the only child in danger. The rainbow-colored duct tape Tim found in the snow may be the one clue that ties many child kidnapping cases together. The Seattle DA agrees to loan Tim to the FBI and Elias Cain’s profiling team. As their investigation unfolds, they realize they are chasing down a child trafficking ring that’s like an octopus with tentacles reaching everywhere. To take down this monster, Tim must put his life on the line.
