Don and Louise decide to move to the north woods of Wisconsin, sixty miles south of Lake Superior, and build their dream retirement home on a lake. They had spent forty years in the corporate world of Chicago, and knew nothing of the environment or culture of the great north. Construction proceeded slowly, and one year later they moved into their beautiful home. Friends and relatives came from out of the woodwork to enjoy the area. As time went on, however, animals, culture and the environment played into their lives and created a situation that made their lives unbearable.
