Mrazivý. Děsivý. Neodložitelný. Nový psychothriller autorky bestsellerů Kříďák a Jáma. Gabe se jednoho dne vracel autem domů z práce a v zácpě uvízl za starým autem. Jeho zadním oknem na něj vykoukla dívčí tvář. Zahlédl, jak říká: „Tati.“ Byla to jeho pětiletá dcera Izzy. Od toho okamžiku už ji nikdy nespatřil. Tři následující roky strávil Gabe cestováním po dálnici, kterou tenkrát jel, a hledáním Izzy. Odmítá se vzdát naděje, že ještě žije. I když mu všichni tvrdí opak. Fran a Alice mají za sebou taky spoustu dní a nocí na cestě. Ty dvě ale nikoho nehledají. Ty dvě utíkají. Před někým, kdo jim chce za každou cenu ublížit. Protože Fran zná pravdu. Ví, co se skutečně stalo Izzy. Kdo za to může. A co udělají ti druzí, když ji a Alici dostihnou...

V roku 1986 sú Eddie a jeho priatelia ešte iba chlapci na prahu dospievania. Dni trávia bicyklovaním okolo svojej ospalej anglickej dedinky a vymýšľaním vzrušujúcich hier. Keď kamarát Gav dostane na dvanáste narodeniny vedierko plné kried, po prvých rozpakoch ich darček nadchne. Na dohovorených miestach si kreslia kriedou panáčiky, svoj tajný kód obsahujúci správy, ktorým rozumejú iba oni. Potom ich však jeden tajomný kriedový panáčik privedie rovno k rozštvrtenému telu a tým sa ich životy navždy zmenia. V roku 2016 je Eddie už dospelý, trochu osamelý muž a myslí si, že s deprimujúcimi zážitkami z minulosti sa vyrovnal. Nečakane však dostane list, ktorý obsahuje kresbu jediného kriedového panáčika. Keď sa ukáže, že rovnakú správu dostali aj jeho priatelia, všetci to považujú za hlúpy žart... kým jedného z nich nenájdu mŕtveho. Vtedy si Eddie uvedomí, že zachrániť sa znamená konečne zistiť, čo sa naozaj pred mnohými rokmi stalo.

An overturned coach. A stranded cable car. An isolated chalet... Three groups of strangers. A deadly killer. No escape. THE DRIFT... survival can be murder.

Survival can be murder... During a deadly snowstorm, Hannah awakens to carnage, all mangled metal and shattered glass. Evacuated from a secluded boarding school, her coach careered off the road, trapping her with a handful of survivors. Meg awakens to a gentle rocking. She's in a cable car stranded high above snowy mountains, with five strangers and no memory of how they got on board. Carter is gazing out of the window of an isolated ski chalet that he and his companions call home. As their generator begins to waver in the storm, the threat of something lurking in the chalet's depths looms larger. Outside, the storm rages. Inside one group, a killer lurks. But which one? And who will make it out alive?
