The conditions were too perfect: a brisk autumn night, the dense Northern Michigan woods, a nearly full moon.

Jan couldn't pass up this once-in-a-lifetime hunt, even if it was technically considered poaching. No harm, no foul if nobody finds out. Except on his way back from killing an elusive gray wolf, he discovers he was not alone in the woods that night. It seems someone else might have a secret of their own.

Jan is an avid hunter whose nightly disappearances aren't unusual, but his past relationship with alcohol and run-ins with the law have left a stain on his marriage. The last thing he needs is for his wife to suspect he is up to old habits.

As the town comes to life in annual celebration of the Harvest Moon Festival, Jan finds it increasingly difficult to keep his little transgression a secret. He begins to realize he needs to figure out who else was in the woods that night. If he doesn't find a way to cover his tracks, it may cost him his freedom and his marriage.
