her father’s associate’s daughter. While hiking in the woods with her beagle,
she feels like she is being watched. With her new friend, Quin, and her beagle,
Henry, the trio go on more hikes in the woods. They soon discover that Quin has
a way with dogs and that there is indeed a dog in the woods and he wants
something from them. The people of the town claim that there is a ghost dog, a
“Shadow,” a wraith that haunts those very woods. Is the dog from the woods
really a ghost dog? What could the dog want?
