Some monsters only exist in nightmares
- others exist for real.. . While hunting in the Nez Pearce National Forest Idaho two men are just about to take a prize-winning shot when their prey unexpectedly bolts. From the forest behind them lunges a huge horrific creature that crushes one man & tears after the other in a loping mass of rage. Just as he has embarked on a search to find his missing fiancee Ethan Warner & his partner Nicola Lopez are summoned to a meeting with Doug Jarvis of the Defence Intelligence Agency at a research laboratory outside the city. There they learn that they are being sent north to interview Jesse Mac Carthy a man accused of a double homicide. But all is not as it seems. Jesse swears blind that the other men were killed by a monster. But as Warner & Lopez dig deeper they uncover a military secret that has been kept under wraps for generations an experiment that went terribly wrong & danger lurking in the highest echelons of the US government.
