Arliss Cutter, 5

Off the northeast coast of Russia, the captain and crew of a small crabbing vessel are brutally murdered by a member of Bratva, the Russian mafia. In Washington, DC, Supreme Court Justice Charlotte Morehouse prepares for a trip to Alaska, unaware that a killer is waiting to take his revenge - by livestreaming her death to the world. In Anchorage, Alaska, Deputy US Marshals Arliss Cutter and Lola Teariki are assigned to security detail at a judicial conference in Fairbanks. Lola is tasked with guarding Justice Townsend's teenage daughter while Cutter provides counter-surveillance. It's a simple, routine assignment - until the mother and daughter decide to explore the Alaskan wilderness on the famous Glacier Discovery train. Hiding onboard are the Russian mobsters, who launch a surprise attack. While they seize control of the engine, Cutter manages to escape with Justice Townsend by jumping off the moving train - and into the unforgiving wilderness. With no supplies and no connection to the outside world, Cutter and the judge must cross a treacherous terrain to stay alive. Two of the mobsters are close behind. The others are on the train with the judge's daughter - and they plan to execute her on camera. With so many lives at stake, Cutter knows there are only two options left: catch the train and kill them all or all will be killed
