A harrowing story of danger, loyalty and the lengths we'll go to protect the people we love most. Sam and Haley Quaid buried their ten-year-old-son and then ended their marriage all in one week. Except for trading Christmas cards, Sam and Haley have completely lost touch...until a dramatic weather report sets their paths on a collision course once more. Tropical Storm Gladys is heading straight toward coastal Texas, and locals are anxious as they prepare for devastation. Haley, a Realtor, has an appointment to show a property and is determined to keep it, but a hurricane isn't the only looming danger: news reports talk of two prisoners who've escaped from a nearby penitentiary, only a few miles from the house Haley's headed for.
