When nothing is like it was... In the deep forests of the prohibited Isle Royale in the far northern reaches of Lake Superior, Kim Murayama lives quietly with Mick, one of the mysterious Royale "witches" cloned by the Wilmut Corporation. He's at peace except for one thing - Wilmut's genetics have decreed that the Royales will die at 30 years of age. Mick must die. But what if it were possible to disconnect the OFF switch? As Kim works to unravel the secrets of the Royales' manufactured genetics, the myth of the monstrous Wendigo comes alive and it's after the witches of Isle Royale.
