When a prominent University of Wyoming professor goes missing, authorities are stumped. That is, until Joe Pickett makes two surprising discoveries. First, he finds the professor’s vehicle parked on a remote mountainside. Then he finds the professor’s frozen and mutilated body. When he attempts to learn more, his investigation is obstructed by federal agents, extremists and Governor Colter Allen. Nate Romanowski is rebuilding his falconry company --- and financing this through crypto mining with the assistance of Geronimo Jones. He’s then approached by a shadowy group of local militant activists who demand that Wyoming join other western states and secede from the Union. They ask Nate to throw in with them, but he’s wary. Should he trust them, or is he being set up?
