Real estate agent Oscar Barajas is adjusting to the fall of the housing market and being a single parent.

At first, the route past high alpine lakes and under towering, snowcapped peaks offers all the freedom and exhilaration they'd hoped for. But when they stumble onto someone who doesn't want to be found, the group finds itself faced with a series of dangerous conflicts, moral dilemmas, confrontations with nature, and an all-out struggle for survival.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Moving effortlessly between city and wilderness, \u003cem\u003eLost Canyon\u003c\/em\u003e explores the ways that race, class, and culture shape experience and perception.
