When a deadly wildfire threatens his family, wrongly imprisoned Zander Hollis must somehow get free to save them. Former Army Ranger and combat field medic Zander Hollis has been sentenced to seven years at the Coujee Valley State Penitentiary for a horrific crime he says he didn't commit. And now there's a contract on his head for a riot he didn't start. When his brother disappears after leaving Zander's parole hearing, Zander begins a seemingly hopeless campaign to try and locate him. Could he have been lost within the deadliest blaze in California history? As the natural disaster threatens the prison itself, Zander makes a fateful decision, one that he hopes will get him the answers he so desperately seeks. But it could also force him to sacrifice everything else.
