RUN, HIDE, OR DIE

L.A. Assistant District Attorney, Darcy Gildon, stepped out of the courtroom after prosecuting a prolonged and disturbing multiple murder case. Feeling emotionally drained and physically tired, she is ready for rest and a little tranquility in her life. When her best friends invite her to join them on a three-week camping vacation by the Snake River in Oregon’s beautiful Hells Canyon, Darcy jumps at the opportunity with the hope that it will be fun, adventurous, and most of all, peaceful. She asks Ashley, her younger sister and recent college graduate, to accompany her on this journey.

Three days later, they find themselves in the remote wilderness and scenic terrain of Oregon. While hiking, Darcy and Ashley accidentally come across hunters and witness a horrific crime in progress. Terrified by what they saw, they make a desperate attempt to flee the scene. Their vacation had suddenly turned into a nightmare.

Exhausted and in pain, she describes what she had witnessed, and tells him that his life is also in danger.
