Joe Pickett, a game warden living in Wyoming, finds himself chasing a escapee in a snowstorn that won't letup. A group of anti-government survivalists come into town bringing the mother of his foster daughter who snatches the child from school and takes her to the survivalist camp. Some misinformed Feds go after the survivalists believing they are harboring a murderer. Joe partners with a local untamed loner type, Nate, and they attempt to put a halt to the confrontation of Feds and survivalists. | ||
