Murder and chaos break loose when residents and visitors in a Rocky Mountain ski resort callously conspire to advance their own self-interests. 

Captivating characters intertwine in this suspenseful story of conspiracy, deception, and homicide. Although Harry Brodick has the heart of a poet, he does not hesitate to behave like a thug. His deadly decision to score one more job is at the horrifying heart of this spellbinding tale. Harry's much younger Vietnamese wife, Nan, married him for convenience and security; but after twenty years together, and raising their son, now seven, she grows to loath Harry's presence and his touch. Santos Aguilar is a Latin American underworld kingpin. Although he understands the concepts of modern morality, he has no problem viciously ignoring them. Eileen Richardson is a damaged woman who turns to contract murder of men to release her deep and enduring hatred. She sees her father's face on every one of her victims.
