Jason, a fridgeman from Potmack, could have it all. He's a respected professional. He graduated with honors at one of the top universities on the continent. He was gifted with a good mind, good friends, and a devoted girlfriend. He and Cassie could be anywhere. So why the hell is he in the frozen taiga near Wed-Mal, and why the hell is he chasing moose?

Jason is a cryptozoologist—or so he says—and that means dragging those who care about him to chase creatures mentioned in half-forgotten ancient texts. Will Jason convince Cassandra, his salt-of-the-earth mothgirl, or Cody, his Amaroq historian buddy, that his cause finally has merit? Will they pull him out of it? Or are they all forever along for the ride?
