About this episode

Journalist Carlyle seeks answers from rogue ranger Adam Haggler about mysterious deaths in the Pisgah National Forest. Instead, he uncovers a dark secret: the rangers are shapeshifters bound by ancient rules. When Shadow Eyes, a vengeful ranger, storms Carlyle’s home, the journalist reveals his own monstrous truth—a bear-like transformation born from their curse.
