The Lineman

RELEASE DATE 11/27/26

**When the lights go out, he goes to work. Tonight, the work goes wrong.**

An ice storm is shutting down North Mississippi, and lineman Wade Kirk does what he's done for twenty years. He kisses his wife and kids goodnight, climbs into a bucket truck and heads into the dark with his crew, so other families can get their power back.

Out on a lonely county road, he hears something in the woods that sounds almost like an animal. It isn't. It's a little girl, half frozen and bleeding, with no coat and no business being out there. And she's terrified of the man who's coming for her.

Wade picks her up and runs. Within the hour, his crew's truck has been sabotaged and the radios are dead. Wade is lost in iced-over timber with a child on his back and a hunter who knows every inch of it. Miles away, his wife is watching the road and his daughter is asking if Daddy's coming home. The roads are closing, the trees are coming down, and the girl in his arms is only the beginning of what's hidden out in those woods.

*The Lineman* is a white-knuckle thriller about ordinary working men pushed far past what anyone should have to endure, and the line one of them refuses to walk away from.
