Description

In a remote stretch of tangled mountain forest, a band of city‑slick sportsmen sets up camp among towering pines and roaring torrents, only to learn that the wilderness hides a far more chilling bounty than any trophy they imagined. A notorious figure known as “the man with a wolf’s head” roams the ravines, his very name stamped with a hefty reward that has the local lawmen itching to form a posse. Around the fire the hunters argue over justice, profit, and the eerie legend that makes the outlaw half beast, half phantom, while the seasoned mountaineer spins a tale of a night‑time encounter with a skull‑faced specter perched in a tree.

The story unfurls as the group grapples with the gritty realities of frontier life—sharp shooting, uneasy alliances, and the thin line between folklore and fear. As autumn deepens, their curiosity turns to dread, and the promise of a lucrative capture forces each man to weigh his own code against the savage law of the woods. The first act builds a vivid portrait of an untamed landscape where every rustle might be a clue, and every decision could seal a fate.
