The rugged mountains around North Bend hold some giant secrets, some of the townspeople are believers, but most don't want to talk about it. One man is intent on finding out what lives in the Cedar Creek Watershed. This curiosity places him deep in the unforgiving forest running for his life. Being hunted by creatures that dwarf him. With no weapon to defend himself, all he can do is run. His fate in the hands of his pursuers. Word spreads that there has been another spotting of Bigfoot, and the town is inundated with hunters, news media, reality television production crews and very odd characters caught up in the hubbub. Chief Ranger Notworst is dealing with unruly visitors to the campground at Rattlesnake Lake. Sheriff Harrington has his hands full just trying to keep the peace. The bigfoot hunters multiply this by descending on the town in a horrific traffic jam. The sheriff tries to keep the peace, and the President of the United States declares North Bend an emergency disaster, which brings in the National Guard and the Red Cross to aid the stranded. This confusion is all fueled by a news reporter, Wendy Storms, an unwanted guest of North Bend. The sleepy town of North Bend is about to be hit by the apocalyptic wrath of the black orb. A man gets burned to death, and Wendy Storms declares it an act of terrorism which brings secret government agencies to town. Confusing and complicating the already complex situation. Looting and break-ins cause mayhem, and a wrongly accused Rebeca Love stands trial for the crimes. It looks as if she may be prison bound. But the one man who went missing returns to save her from her accuser, prosecuting attorney Rupert Longarm.
