Outside a small town in the northern woods, a group of hunters fight for their lives as a disease burns through the local population of humans and wildlife. The sickness causes horrific mutations and turns its victims into wolf-like monstrosities.

But what do these creatures call themselves, and who within the town of Alten, New York, may see this nightmare as an opportunity? Can veteran hunter Kade Kershaw lead his rag-tag group of rogues and at-risk youth to contain the infected before the authorities destroy the place they call home?

The deadline is December, and the answer lies beneath blood and snow.
