The plot unfolds as a group of hunters encounters a snowstorm while traveling through a remote region. They discover a body on the road, hinting at a mystical force behind the gruesome death. The narrative follows the hunters as they grapple with their fears, particularly as one of their own, Roy Starr, becomes a victim of the phantom buck.
