Brendell Kisêpîsim Meshango is of Métis heritage and a PhD university
professor in Prince George, British Columbia. When Brendell resigns
from the university and retreats to her isolated cabin to repair her
psyche, she is confronted by a masked intruder. His racial comments lead
her to believe she is the solitary victim of a hate crime. However, is
all as it appears? After two bizarre days inflicting a sadistic
captivity, the intruder mysteriously disappears.
Taught by her
mother to fear and distrust the mainstream-based power structures, and
with her stalker possibly linked to a high level of government, Brendell
conceals the incident from the police. But will keeping quiet keep her
safe?
Then her beloved daughter, Zoë, is threatened — and Brendell
takes matters into her own hands. To save Zoë, Brendell searches for
the stalker and confronts not just a depraved madman but her own fears
and prejudices.
