When two young men vanish from an oil rig in North Dakota, no one seems in a hurry to find them...except their mothers, two women from very different worlds who must work together to find their sons. Shay Jarvis, a 41-year-old single grandmother, has more grit than resources; for wealthy suburban housewife Colleen Carroll, the opposite is true. Overtaxed by worry, exhaustion, and fear, they question each other's methods and motivations--but there is no one else to help, and they must learn to work together if they are to have any chance of breaking through the barriers put up by their sons'employer, the indifference of an overtaxed police department, and a town of strangers with their own secrets against a backdrop of a modern day gold rush.
