Sheriff Walt Longmire returns from fishing in the Bighorn Mountains with Henry Standing Bear and undersheriff Victoria Moretti when a distress call interrupts their journey. Forest service ranger Chuck Coon needs help in Crazy Woman Canyon. The trio arrives to discover Coon and a young woman perched atop a portable toilet, three aggressive bears circling below. The stranded pair tells a bewildering tale about something dangerous lurking inside the facility. When Walt, Henry, and Vic confront whatever waits in the cramped space, they encounter what might be a supernatural messenger connected to the spirit world. This entity carries a direct link to Walt's own past, forcing him to grapple with forces beyond ordinary police work.
