Plot: In Attias Wisconsin, life is simple. Everyone knows everyone in this quaint North Woods community and nothing out of the ordinary ever seems to happen. It's Christmas time, and while the town finds itself in the holiday spirit, the Naughton's are grieving over the loss of their beloved wife and mother just a few weeks earlier. As town Mayor Joe Naughton leans on the townsfolk for moral support, his children Everett 19 and Dee 17 find comfort in each others presence. Dan Picardo and Mike Hull are lifelong friends from Illinois, who travel north on a hunting trip to blow off steam and drink beer. When they stop for a bite to eat in Attias, they learn that they may have bitten off more then they can chew... In the town of Waggner, just a few miles south of Attias, a horrific bank robbery has shattered their way of life and left a stream of death and destruction behind. Attias sheriff Henry Mcgill and depute Robert Davies lend their time and support to the devastated town. When the Naughton children come up missing, the sheriff teams up with the mayor and a wise cracking Indian by the name of John Redbud to search for the Naughtons before it's too late, but what they find is a dark secret hidden by the vast forest for hundreds of years. In a race with time, the unlikely trio must find the Naughton kids before something else does.
