Where others perceive chaos, Professor Theo Cray is educated to detect patterns. Thus, when the police are left looking in vain for evidence after finding disfigured victims deep in the Montana forests, Theo notices something they are missing. Something strange. An action that only he can halt.
Theo is more acquainted with digital code and germs than the murky corners of forensic investigation since he works as a computational biologist. However, he finds himself at the centre of an inquiry into the brutal murder of one of his former pupils while on a field trip in Montana. The local police conclude that the murderer is either Theo or a grizzly gone crazy as more information and corpses surface. Theo has to utilise his scientific background to find the culprit while trying to keep one step ahead of the cops. Can he develop the same level of cunning as the predator he hunts before he is eaten by it?
