Deep in the icy wilderness of the deep Canadian north is said to lurk an unimaginable horror, an ancient evil once considered a legend and spoken about only in hushed tones around the campfire by the Chamrais people. They told of a malevolent spirit whose dark powers could possess anyone unfortunate enough to encounter it with violent, obscene hunger.Although the town of Batesville has fallen victim to this very evil, a political committee has used its influence to cover up the gruesome incidents to promote and expand the financial future of the community. When Travis Randall, a young indigenous reporter from the city, starts work at the town's newspaper, he suspects the rampant alcohol abuse among the Chamrais and other suspicious events may have more sinister implications.Warned not to stick his nose into the occurrences, Travis's tenacious investigations bring him into conflict with the town officials - a move that threatens to endanger not only his career, but the lives of himself and his wife.As Travis's determination exposes him to a human threat, an increasingly ominous and altogether greater supernatural menace awaits as he encounters the truth behind where walks the wendigo.
