(Drama)

Based on the true story! Two trappers mysteriously disappear at Cow Head in 1809.  Sarah Singleton, the sister of one of the missing men and the fiancée of the other, and her companion, John Payne, sets out to solve the mystery. They stumble upon the trappers’ abandoned cabin in the middle of a cold winter’s night and are menacingly greeted by a mysterious stranger. A long, haunting night ensues as they attempt to discover the gruesome truth. Better be good or Pelly’s ghost’ll get ya!
