On May 21st, 2011, seven graduate students in Religious Studies set out from the University of Colorado in search of God. Armed with only their faith and the scriptures, they rented a small cluster of cabins on the western slope of the Rocky Mountains. The setting is in Colorado’s Rocky Mountains in isolated cabins in a blizzard.

None of them were ever heard from again.

On October 29th, 2013, a disarticulated femur is discovered in a mountain lion’s den. Forensics confirms the bone belongs to one of the missing seven, triggering a massive search of the surrounding wilderness.

No other evidence is found.

On November 13th, the families of the missing students rent the same cabins and attempt to recreate the final days of their loved ones in hopes of divining their fate. Only this time, thanks to an unusual bacterium isolated from the femur, they know where to look.

Over two years later a land holder and game hunter tracking a cat discovers a bone at its lair, a bone from one of the seven kids, a discovery that has relatives of the students once again in the mountains looking for their children, looking for closure. This time they’ve got more to go on and this time there’s going to be some stunning revelations.

Nothing can prepare them for the truth.

This is their story. The story of what they found, what they lost…and what remains.
