Broken Trail

This trail will break you . . .

Recently separated, with her children going off the rails and her psychology career hanging by a thread, Clara begins to obsess over one of her patients as a means of escape. When the patient vanishes on a remote hiking trail, Clara feels strangely compelled to hike the trail as well. She may find her missing patient, and even if not, it could be a great bonding experience for her and her teens, right?

Once in the woods, though, violent visions plague her dreams and begin to bleed into reality. When a close encounter with a malevolent spirit leaves the family scattered, Clara finds herself lost, stomach empty and boots sinking into mud after days of rain. A sea of forest stretches out around her on every side, and somewhere in there are her girls. She must finally take responsibility and find the strength to outsmart what prowls the forest before the force that lurks there destroys them all.
