About
Two brothers, Woody and Gator Mularkey, star in a Bigfoot hunting reality TV series that is experiencing declining ratings. In a last-ditch effort to revive their brand, they travel to northern Minnesota after hearing the pleas of a small town facing a decrease in population. Eerie sounds, hunters who vanish, and a decline in wildlife heighten the community's fear.
To restore their ratings, the brothers must continue their hoax, all while clashing with the local sheriff, who wants them gone but also requires their resources. Unprepared and forming an unlikely alliance, they ultimately confront the Lakota Legend.
