Following his parents' ugly divorce, Jake Oliver chooses to move with
his father to a remote corner of Connecticut. It is bad enough that
their new home turns out to be a fenced-in dump in the middle of
nowhere, but it seems that the previous owner, his dad's late Uncle
Horace, had been the local crackpot ridiculed by the community for his
belief that a Bigfoot roamed the vast woodland preserve that lay beyond
the property.
Not everything about Jake's new life is bad, though. His job at the
local market is okay, and it doesn't hurt that his coworker is pretty
Nell Davis. But when odd things start to happen, like weird calls in the
dead of night, stones thrown by an unseen assailant, and lingering foul
odors wafting on the breeze, Jake starts to believe that maybe old
Horace wasn't so crazy after all. With Nell's help, Jake is determined
to make a name for himself by proving to the world that the mythical
Sasquatch is alive and well and living in the woods just on the other
side of that fence.
