After months of filming for the reality show Creature Hunt, Zach Larson looks forward to relaxing with his girlfriend, Autumn Hunter. His plans change when he is asked to make a last-minute appearance at the Northwest Cryptid Conference to speak about the dogman sightings in the Northwest. As Zach and Autumn begin to plan the presentation, the death of a friend brings Zach back to Tahoma Valley, where he learns that the creature may have become deadly. With Zach facing unexpected decisions about his life with Autumn, he also sets out to gather enough solid evidence of the canine cryptid to prove to people at the conference that the monster exists. Following the path of the dogman, Zach learns that his future as a monster hunter may become more real than he had ever expected.
