Humans who can shapeshift into animals struggle to integrate with others without giving away their special abilities. As a group, they strive to inform and institute change in the world perspective of deforestation and the importance of natural habitats. However, when that can’t happen, they are forced to take matters into their own hands.

A new school year begins for shape-shifter Carag and his friends Brandon, Holly and Lou at Clearwater High. But first the Woodwalker Council must decide whether or not Carag's mentor and patron of the school, Andrew Milling, should be found guilty of the attack on the humans. Carag is in a dilemma: he wants to put a stop to Milling, but he promises to bring him to his true cougar family if he covers for him in front of the council. Carag decides to lie for Milling in order to finally see his family again and reconcile with his father. When it soon emerges that the school is in danger and that Milling has a hand in this too to further his political career, Carag and his friends have to find proof fast! Of all people, the snow she-wolf Tikaani comes to Carag's aid. But can Carag really trust her?

After a botched attempt to move to Winnipeg, Paul retreats back to his eccentric family in the fly-in community of Grouse Lake First Nation.
