Some of nature's secrets are not meant to be revealed, as anthropologist Mike Foster and big game hunter Ben Cutler discover. A fisherman in a northern Pennsylvania town has an encounter with the legendary Sasquatch, and his eyewitness account grabs the attention of Mike Foster, who joins the search for the animal after physical evidence is discovered that supports the fisherman's claim. However, Foster's peaceful interest in the case clashes with the violent desires of Ben Cutler, a gun-for-hire who comes to town to kill the creature.
