"The passion of rescue reveals the highest dynamic of the human soul." – Kurt Hahn

It's been five years since Cooper Mackenzie lost his partner—in life and in love—to a tragic accident during a rescue operation. Shouldering the blame for the accident, Cooper relives his self-identified mistakes with each mission, doing all he can not to repeat the past. His sole objective in life is reduced to never suffering a loss like that again.

Dr. Amanda Pierce has devoted her entire life to being a doctor at the medical clinic in Buffalo Springs, Arkansas. Rarely does she have the opportunity to save someone's life, but that changes when she is drawn unintentionally into the world of the Ozark Search and Rescue.

In one perilous situation after another, Cooper and Amanda search for the person who needs to be rescued. However, the more they get to know each other, the more they each question who it is that needs to be saved.
