Now, Audrey is a park ranger in the very same woods with expertise in wilderness search and rescue. Audrey has found a rhythm to her days: training new rangers, tending to injured hikers, protecting the backcountry, and still, searching.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen a little girl, Ivy, suddenly goes missing on the trails, Audrey can't help but notice the similarities to her own brother's case.
