What is terrorizing a nature preserve near a small town in rural Idaho? Half the town believes it's the Lake Lowell Ghost and the rest are convinced it's a diabolical beast. With no end in sight, they need help.

Joining the hunt is State Fish & Wildlife Officer Daya Soto and her partner, Lexy—a specialist in wildlife enforcement who happens to be a Karelian Bear Dog.
