Jay doesn't believe in Bigfoot.
His dad loves hunting for Bigfoot, but searching for a mythical creature in the dark isn't Jay's idea of fun. Especially because he always gets stuck looking out for his little sister while his dad plays with the cool gear, like night-vision goggles. But while out on a camping trip, a large creature starts hunting them, and then Jayâs father goes missing. Jay is forced to start tracking the creature himself while still keeping his sister safe. It turns out that not only is Bigfoot real but it isn't the only threat in the woods. Thereâs a different kind of monster out here, one who is armed with a gun. Jay must act fast to save his father before itâs too late. And he needs Bigfootâs help to do it.
