To Go Forth in the Midst of Wolves

In 1940 Colorado three strangers, drawn together by Fate, find themselves in a desperate struggle for survival on a frozen mountainside.

In their battle for redemption they are consumed by memories from the past. Their stories are painted with the broad brush of historical background covering the Irish "Troubles" of the '20's, the tragic drama of the Spanish Civil War, and the rise of Nazi Socialism in the early '30's. The plot involves the best and worst in relationships, dealing with life as it is. The collective adventures add to a montage of all the aspects of this fateful encounter, conveying the theme of failure, deliverance, and the miracle of human survival.
