Eve Duncan, a forensic sculptor, begins with a skull and models a face to help identify the lost for the sake of their families. Since losing her own daughter, it has become her mission. While her detective husband was out of town, she was kidnapped by a deranged man who wants her to reconstruct the skull of his dead son. He took her to a remote mountain location in Colorado, where she was held prisoner while her frantic family and friends searched for her. As others, including law enforcement and a paid assassin, hunt for her kidnapper, her attempts to escape become more and more hopeless.
