Wolfman
Crystal Nguyen, a young investigative reporter, wants to make her mark in the world of television. Sidelined at first from reporting on her passion for environmental issues, Crystal finds an unusual way to get her news director’s attention—and the attention of hunters and poachers in northern Minnesota, some of whom are not happy with what she has to say. Her reporting goes viral when she suggests there may be someone out there—possibly part of the hunt-the-hunter movement—who is intent on going after poachers of the endangered gray wolf. She gives him the name, Wolfman, and the TV station’s rating soar. Then a hunter is shot, and Crystal is worried that her Wolfman idea has spawned a copycat—a real person intent on punishing poachers. Perhaps killing them. Now she has to downplay the Wolfman idea and appeal to the copycat to stop his attacks. Will he listen? Will she be in time to prevent someone from dying?
