In a desperate act, he abducts the boy deemed responsible, disappearing into the unforgiving wilderness. This daring move sparks a frenetic manhunt, orchestrated by a power-mongering politician eager to exploit the tragedy for his personal aggrandizement.
As tensions escalate, Caleb stands at a moral crossroads, grappling with the question: Will vengeance truly bring him peace, or will it merely serve justice?
