Huuq is a young Inuit boy who has never fit in to camp life. One day,
fleeing yet another attack from the camp bullies, Huuq finds himself
alone and far away from camp, with only his dog Qipik as company. On a
lonesome hill, they find an egg. But this is no ordinary bird's egg.
It's big. And almost looks like a stone. When Huuq breaks this
mysterious egg, it unleashes a series of events that turn Huuq himself
into a monstrous half-human creature. As Huuq tries to figure out why he
has been turned into a monster, what the egg and its contents mean, and
how he can return to his natural self, he is thrust into a world of
fearsome creatures, mystical powers, and an evil the likes of which Huuq
has never encountered.
