The Mallox farm is the perfect place for Scarlett Baker to hide from the drug dealer who wants her dead. Relocation to a new city is difficult, but she soon finds comfort caring for horses in a unique equine therapy program. She begins to rebuild her life behind the impenetrable security system that protects the massive property. But then she starts to suffocate under the weight of an even greater fear, one that brings up terrifying memories from her past. The woods surrounding the farm beckon to her, threatening to unearth a trauma that she had long since buried. Paralyzed by her fear, she has no option but to confront both her past and present. She is surrounded by people who want to help, but letting them in is dangerous. She could lose herself in the process. As she struggles to break free from the shackles that bind her to the past, she is unsure whether she'll ever be able to truly set herself free. The woods close in around her, and a new revelation threatens to end her old life altogether. Finding the courage to tackle her fears once and for all becomes the only way to attain the new life she so desperately desires.
