It is January, and Park Ranger Anna Pigeon is sent to Isle
Royale in Lake Superior to learn about managing and
understanding wolves, as her home base of Rocky Mountain
National Park might soon have their own pack of the
magnificent, much-maligned animals. She’s housed in the
island’s bunkhouse with the famed wolf study team, along
with two scientists from Homeland Security, who are
assessing the study with an eye to opening the park each
winter—effectively bringing an end to the fifty-year
study—so that it can be manned to secure the scrap of border
with Canada.
Soon after Anna’s arrival, the wolf packs under observation
begin to act in peculiar ways. Giant wolf prints are found,
and Anna spies the form of a great wolf from a surveillance
plane. The discovery of wolf scat containing alien DNA leads
the team to believe that perhaps a wolf/dog hybrid has been
introduced to the island. When a female member of the team
is savaged, Anna is convinced she is being stalked, and what
was once a beautiful, idyllic refuge becomes a place of
unnatural occurrences and danger beyond the ordinary. Alone
on an island without electricity or running water, with
temperatures hovering around zero both day and night, Anna
fights not only for the wolves, but for also her own survival.
