Once a rising star in the FBI, with the best case closure rate of any investigator, Ella Porter is now exiled to a small gold mining town bordering the wilderness of Alaska. The reason for her new assignment? She allowed a prolific serial killer to escape custody. But what no one knows is that she did it on purpose.

The day she shows up in Nome, bags still unpacked, the wife of the richest gold miner in town goes missing. This is the second woman to vanish in as many days. And it's up to Ella to find out what happened. Assigning Ella to Nome is no accident, either. Though she swore she'd never return, Ella grew up in the small, gold mining town, treated like royalty as a child due to her own family's wealth. But like all gold tycoons, the Porter family secrets are as dark as Ella's own.

Ella's past is a mystery, and she has a reputation for being a tough investigator who doesn't play by the rules. She's been known to take risks and push the boundaries to get the job done, but her methods have sometimes led to controversy.

As she begins to investigate the disappearances, Ella quickly realizes that there is more to this town than meets the eye. The residents are secretive, and many of them have something to hide. She starts to uncover a web of lies and corruption that extends far beyond the gold mining industry.

Ella's investigation takes her into the heart of the wilderness, where she encounters dangerous animals and unpredictable weather conditions. She must use all of her skills and resources to stay one step ahead of the serial killer, who is still on the loose.

As Ella closes in on the truth, she discovers that the serial killer has a personal connection to her own past. He is using her family's secrets to his advantage, and he is willing to do anything to keep his secrets hidden.

In the end, Ella must confront her own demons and make difficult choices to bring the serial killer to justice. She must also come to terms with the consequences of her actions and the secrets that she has kept hidden for so long.

Nome is a small town with a big secret, and Ella Porter is the only one who can uncover it. Will she be able to find the truth before it's too late?
