It
is only when the bones of its prey are discovered in a remote
Scottish glen that the majesty and power of one of nature’s most
successful predators is truly revealed. As it strikes silently from
the shadows and on nights shrouded in darkness, a small village falls
under siege to a remarkable creature. For thousands of years mankind
has had the upper hand but now – suddenly, violently, bloodily –
the balance of power has shifted.

When
an isolated wildlife research centre launches an investigation, it is
soon discovered that something out of place has made the Highlands
its home and set its sights on the quiet village of Cannich. It will
hunt, it will kill and it won’t let anything get in its way. Thomas
Walker, a renowned wildlife specialist and former big game hunter,
finds himself confronted with his past and an animal the likes of
which he had never wanted to face again. As its devastating rampage
goes unchecked and threatens his home, the woman he loves and his
very way of life, an older and much more human adversary seeks him
out. How long will any of them survive the presence of the beast in
their shadow?
