This retelling of the epic of Gilgamesh follows a phony yet successful TV psychic MICAH GABEL, who agrees to participate in a documentary looking for Bigfoot directed by his former boss and mentor, EDNA KIDD, against the advice of Micah’s semi-secret boyfriend, DANIEL. But Micah has an ulterior motive; years earlier, Edna refused to sign off on Micah’s televised search for the ghost of a little girl suspected of being murdered in the Nantahala forest––the very forest where the documentary will film. But Micah’s plans to sabotage production are interrupted by their guide, the obsessed and dangerous Sasquatch hunter HUMBERT, who believes Bigfoot to be a Celtic demon. A struggle that leaves both Edna and Humbert dead sets Micah on a quest to recover Edna’s body and save JOSH, the naive cameraman with whom Micah has begun an affair. But nature is possessive of its dead, and the spirits of the forest are reluctant to let Edna’s corpse––or the surviving members of the crew––escape. Micah must look deep within himself to turn his worst qualities into his greatest weapons before he can return home alive and fix his relationship with Daniel. |
