Sam devoted his life to finding people who were lost in the wilderness. He also spent some of his time tracking down criminals who do not want to be found. Sam is known as the Spirit Tracker because he doesn't just track people and animals from their tracks they make, but he has the ability to track an animal and person's spirit through where they might be and their thoughts and feelings at the time. After being on a special assignment to catch a killer, he hopes to find some time with his family, but this doesn't happen when a small girl named Alyssa gets lost in the Uintah Mountains of Utah. He has to rush to the mountains to find Alyssa before an early winter storm hits the mountains. But when he gets to the mountains he finds that the local sheriff has his own plans of rescuing Alyssa that causes Sam to break away and do his own search and rescue. Sam finds that this proves to be one of the hardest most dangerous cases he has worked on yet and proves that before it is over it might be his last.
