The mountains can dish it out. But that doesn't mean you have to take it. Six stories of mountain mystery and survival-with the occasional touch of the supernatural. ON RED MOUNTAIN: A woman must survive alone in the mountains after her husband is struck by lightning. THE RESCUE: A mountain hermit and his dog race to avert a coming disaster-one that the dog senses before anyone else. HOME DEER: A mountain widow takes matters into her own hands to protect the nearby woodland creatures. THE GOLD HUNTER: An injured climber's only hope for survival is a stranger who won't give up. TAKEN AT RUSTLER PASS: A teen girl fights to survive against the stranger who wants her dead. THE OUTPOST AWAY FROM THE WORLD: A scientist returns to the off-the-grid cabin of her childhood and discovers the mysterious secret to her survival.
