The 2009 “Miracle on the Hudson” saved 150 airline passengers from almost certain death, making instant heroes out of the captain who landed the crippled jetliner in an icy river and the crew that guided every passenger to safety.

 

But for Martin Wilkes, whose wife Keira and two sons were on that flight, the miracle has a hollow ending: although the boys return, no one can locate their mother. Keira Wilkes has survived a plane crash, only to disappear again.

 

The ensuing search takes the husband from his comfortable home on the Connecticut gold coast to a bleak and inhospitable wilderness and forces him to confront the validity of everything he believes to be true about his marriage and himself.
