"Why would anyone want to get closer to nature? What’s that about? Nature is a f*****r. It’s cruel. Vindictive. Nature will give you cancer, burn your house down then send a flood to wash away your family." Mag lives in a rustic cabin in the Canadian wilds, far from neighbours and further from her past. It’s an unremarkable life, save for the enormous bear carcass on the kitchen table. But when her estranged daughter Beth turns up on the doorstep having been freshly released from prison, the past becomes terrifyingly present - and the bear isn’t the only thing with a dangerous bite.
