  • "Mający ponad dwa metry i ważący sto trzydzieści kilogramów Clay Blaisdell to kawał drania, ale do czasu poznania George'a Rackleya dopuszczał się tylko drobnych przestępstw. George wprowadził go w setki oszustw i jeden wielki plan: porwanie dziecka bogatych rodziców. Geraldsowie są obrzydliwie bogaci więc ostatnia gałązka rodzinnego drzewa może być warta miliony. Jest tylko jeden problem: zanim dochodzi do wymiany, mózg grupy ginie. Choć czy na pewno? Teraz Blaze ucieka w niebywałej burzy a gliny depczą mu po piętach. Ma dziecko jako zakładnika a przestępstwo stulecia zmienia się w wyścig z czasem w białym piekle lasów Maine."
