The snarling creature appeared to be closing in on Tommy, and the old woman in the background was smiling. Twenty years later, 11-year-olds Brad and Sarah enter the forest, riding double on an all-terrain vehicle, or quad. Deep inside Wolverine Forest, they get lost and run out of gas and are forced to spend the night. Huddling next to their campfire, they're suddenly interrupted by someone (or something) that will change their lives forever!
