Diamonds, gold, and a decades-old smuggling operation running through the Boundary Waters of Northern Minnesota. Everything runs perfectly until the operators agree to a new and far more dangerous and top-secret shipment.

Paul Westover, a reporter for the Associated Press, accidentally stumbles upon the operation while researching wild wolf populations for an upcoming article. Partially distracted by a questionable romance, Paul still manages to figure out the operation.

Murder and arson send Paul into hiding. Offers of help come from several directions, but the entire town is so corrupt from years of dealings with the Path, it's impossible to know exactly who is on the take. Paul meets with resistance primarily because most of the locals are unaware of the new cargo, which is profoundly more dangerous than anything they could possibly imagine.
