A solitary trapper revisits a remote mountain gorge to find his snares vanished and hides to watch; by night he surprises a small armed party that deposits a muffled bundle which proves to be a pale, pleading young woman who is then bound and claimed by her captors. The narrative follows attempts to unravel the mystery, tense confrontations in the wilderness, and the moral dilemmas prompted by sudden encounters with violence, compassion, and solitude.
