NO ESCAPE In the upland hills of Vermont sits the small town of Gilchrist, the scenic heart of the Northeast Kingdom region. It’s also home to a high-tech twenty-first century Alcatraz — America’s most advanced maximum-security penitentiary. When the riot erupts, no one is surprised. When the break comes, no one is prepared. NO EXIT Gilchrist is under siege and outnumbered. All communication with the outside world has been terminated by a violent winter storm. All escape routes are guarded by the most vicious prisoners in the country. And trapped in a local inn, the town’s few survivors are left with only one recourse: to run for their lives. NO MERCY But fleeing into the rugged timberland is little refuge for these desperate few. They are cold, defenseless, and worse: They are being tracked by a relentless killer who has nothing left to lose.
