Gary Myers, who is a zoologist and Belle Palmer’s high school boyfriend, is studying the behavior of elk released in the nearby wilderness. When his partner arrives, Gary is found drowned near his research camp. Did he fall and hit his head, or did a more sinister event occur? The partner and Belle start to compile Gary’s research. Gary’s documents are not complete and someone has broken into his cottage, taking a camera and laptop. When Gary’s partner is poisoned by carbon monoxide and Belle nearly dies and hospital deaths confirm she had been given a date-rape drug, they realize that these are no accidents. A clipping of Gary's about poisoning on remote reserves leads Belle to revisit the place of Gary’s demise to collect water samples. Seconds after setting off, they are pursued at gunpoint. In a rapidly escalating and dramatic denouement, they must paddle into the deep bush, with no way back.
It’s October in South Cove, California, and the locals in the quaint resort seem to be happily pairing off in the lull before the holidays.
