As a K-9 Search and Rescue handler, Rebekkah James has learned that being able to navigate her way through the wilderness area of Minnesota is important. After all, those she goes to help are often missing because they have lost their way. She knows that when Law Enforcement calls, her world of running a bed and breakfast changes to a world with dogs, maps, and woods. But sometimes, those in the woods don't want to be found - or have something they want to keep hidden from prying eyes. And that is when she wonders if doing Search and Rescue is really worth the risk.

Another witness had come forward, saying they were sure they had seen someone of Tom's description near one of the old mine pit lakes. It was going on two years now since his disappearance, but of course, anything was possible. After all, while the clues had gone cold and witness memories faded, there was one thing that doesn't die away, the scent of death. And that is where the dogs come in.
