After five hard years behind bars Bonnie Lee is still haunted by her past which hides a terrible secret and hunted by her father, a man desperate for revenge and a need to silence her forever... Alone on the run, she will do whatever it takes to survive and find the one person who can clear her name - her mother. She's a desperate woman on a desperate mission and the only person who can save her is the only person who cares... her Hostage .

A flash flood sweeps a boy and his sister onto an island in the Mississippi River, where they are trapped with a cougar and her new born cubs.
