Coming face to face with the overseer the head of the wendigo clan and his right hand man BJ must take them on to survive, doing so he survives and gets away.

Agreeing to this situation, Louie talks Steven into helping him out not knowing what's in store for them.
As Louie and Steven arrive to the location to meet up with these men, they are instructed to find signs of deer and wildlife for them to hunt and are given a time frame but as Steven starts to track he notices no signs of any wildlife whatsoever and becomes skeptical.
Now, Steven must do whatever it takes to keep himself and Louie alive and survive this hunt as now they know they are the prey and will become the main course if they do not fight to survive.
