For 108 years, three generations of men have hunted the same impossible deer through the Montana mountains.

Silas is seventy-eight, dying, and out of time. This October, he makes one last climb into the high country with Eli, a boy who needs to learn what the mountain teaches about failure, obsession, and letting go.

In a clearing where impossible things walk, they'll face the choice that defines a life:

Some things are worth more uncaught.

Some hunts are not about the hunting.

Some endings are really beginnings.

A haunting novel about what we chase, why we can't let go, and the terrible beauty of choosing not to pull the trigger.
