For more than two hundred years, the township of Mink Hills, Manitoba, has been embroiled in a secret war with an enemy profoundly suited to the shadows. Legend has it that werewolves roam the woods outside of town, responsible for the abduction of local children-a few from each generation.

Of course, that's nonsense. Surely, whatever monster is responsible for taking these children is merely human, though clearly lacking in humanity.

But when the son of RCMP Detective Marcus Pope is abducted, along with two other children, and the desperate search takes him and his fellow officers deep into the woods, the werewolf legend becomes an undeniable reality in a vicious attack that leaves officers down and the survivors questioning everything they had ever believed. Enlisting the help of fellow detective Morgan Heart, as well as an ancient werewolf who had been turned against his will centuries earlier, Marcus vows to put an end to the wolf pack's persistent and pernicious evil and seek justice for everything they'd taken from the people of Mink Hills, and from himself.
