"The story follows a huge mountain lion that drifts out of the boreal forests and begins terrorizing the small mountain hamlet of Elkhorn, Montana. First, a woman jogger is missing, then two fishermen are attacked, followed by a rancher who is killed trying to protect his property. Incredibly, it is an animal which shows no fear of man. Local authorities are quickly overwhelmed, forcing the governor to announce a million dollar reward. But this is no ordinary lion, Blackfoot elders say. This is a "spirit cat" who has come back to fulfill a centuries old prophecy. "There is only one man who can kill this beast," states a Native American woman who reads leaves and speaks with birds. "And he has left the reservation and broken all ties with his past." Enter Robert Wolfson, a man who changed his name and is teaching in Chicago. As Wolfson reluctantly returns to the reservation for his grandfather's funeral, he is gradually swept into the hunt. Inevitably, he must face his destiny and confront the lion"--
