Who believes in Sasquatch, Bigfoot, or Yeti? Everyone has heard the stories, but most people don't think them to be true. Earnest is a city slicker from the East. He flies to the wilderness, rents a car, and manages to find his way to a place so remote that almost nobody ever goes there. He is soon reported missing when his rental car is not returned. Deputy Jackson has two interests in life: his ranch and his job with Search and Rescue. His peaceful existence is upset when he's tasked with finding Earnest. Jackson does locate the car, and it appears the missing man left in a hurry, perhaps spooked or scared. While searching, Jackson crosses paths with Ginny, a girl raised in a shack beside the bayou. With the help of friends-and Ginny-Jackson continues his search, leading him to a ghost town filled with some strange folk. He's still not sure what happened to Earnest, but Jackson is beginning to suspect his disappearance might indeed have something to do with a big, brown, hairy beast.
