Two college brothers arrive at their father's remote lumber camp in the Maine wilderness, eager for adventure during the Christmas holidays. But trouble awaits them-a rival lumber baron has laid claim to four hundred acres of prime timber, and the deed that could settle the dispute has mysteriously vanished.
Strange occurrences begin plaguing the camp. A ghostly figure appears at the forest's edge, and unearthly cries pierce the night, threatening to send the superstitious crew fleeing. With their father's critical contract hanging in the balance, the brothers must uncover the truth behind the haunting while navigating treacherous winter conditions and a dangerous enemy who will stop at nothing to see them fail.
In a world of towering spruces, bitter cold, and men as hard as the axes they wield, courage and quick thinking may be all that stands between success and ruin.
