It's summer, and Rachel Highboy, Jesse's hockey-playing cousin from
James Bay, has come to Tamarack to join the Screech Owls on a week-long
canoe trip into the wilds of Algonquin Park.
At the same time, the rookie hero of this year's Stanley Cup final is in
a light plane that goes missing somewhere in the area. It is eerily like
the story of Bill Barilko, the legendary Toronto Maple Leafs defenceman
who disappeared when his plane crashed deep in the Ontario bush in 1951,
just four months after he scored the Stanley-Cup-winning goal!
When some of the team - including a terrified Nish - become separated
from the others and find themselves lost in the deep woods, strange
things begin to happen. A wolf comes each night to stand by the
campfire. A mysterious stranger pays a visit. And a shocking discovery
has Rachel and the Screech Owls wondering if they'll make it out alive!
