When hikers begin vanishing in the deep wilderness of Adirondack Park, the pattern is too precise to ignore. As sightings of a towering, wolf-like creature begin to surface, a special operations team is quietly sent in to handle the situation. But what they find in the forest isn’t just a predator—it’s something worse. Something hunting on its own terms. It’s not protecting territory. It’s not feeding. It’s choosing. And it’s not done yet.
