Tribal elder Fred and his cousin and uncle are travelling through the Alaskan wilderness when they are surrounded in their cabin by terrifying creatures resembling the “Hairy Man” legend they were always warned about as kids.

As Fred recounts the terrifying story of what happens next, Danny Robins wonders if this story could hold the answer to one of America’s most enduring mysteries – the legend of Bigfoot.
