Leith and Dion are on the hunt for a different kind of murderer ... and he’s a real animal. It seems the October rains have brought death and disaster to North Vancouver. A missing hiker is found by his son and daughter, a foul smell leads to a mauled body in a crawl space, and a small boy is attacked by a man in wolf form.

Halloween has brought out the ghouls for Leith and his team ... and possibly a shapeshifter as well, with murder on its mind.
