Jessica O'Connell and Sam Barrett from Kananaskis, Death in the Rockies and Spirits of Minnewanka, are back in another high adventure.
Their story is set when Jessica first becomes a Banff Park Warden. She discovers that there is much to learn in her chosen career. She first meets Sam as her mentor while discovering the many sides of becoming a Warden. This, despite pressure from her mother and former boyfriend to adopt more lady-like activities appropriate to her home in the elite Vancouver neighbourhood of Deep Cove. This, rather than gallivanting about in the wilds chasing after, of all things, Bison newly imported into Banff's Panther Valley. She is studying the animals as part of her master's thesis on climate change.
Jessica and her companions are not the only ones tracking the Bison. Frank Stoner wishes to have a Bison's head mounted on the great stone fireplace of his newly completed home in Montana. He will go to any lengths the get one, including going up against Jessica, Sam and their Warden colleagues.
Unbeknownst to the authorities, he engages the services of a local guide, Bill McCarthy to help him track and kill a Bison bull, which he intends to fly out of the Panther Valley.
