At the very worst time of year to be living in Minnesota, fourteen year old Haley Devereaux is ambushed by her own worst impulses. She is geekish and socially awkward, wants to fit in, but also to lash out at those who discount her - like George Morris, star of the Select Ensemble at church. She feels personally responsible when George disappears and is later found dead. Then she recognizes the true culprit in the strange animal she befriended years ago near Superior National Forest. The loggers of the old north woods told tales of this creature which travels beneath the snow to seize its prey. Haley must find a way to save friends and foes alike.
