Opening:
Rufus Hardy, Fishcop. After twenty-seven years working for the Department of Fish and Game, he’s ready to collect on his pension. But, the universe, it seems, has other plans for him.

The Olympic National Park hosts 4 different temperate rainforests. Each one is dense. Each one is dark. Each one hosts old growth trees dating back a thousand years.

Now, they host something even older - - and darker.

Highlights
