Her long-dreamed quest is to capture proof that the mythological beast known as The Canterbury Panther exists. When an accident occurs leaving Mildred’s mum in hospital, her one-time fling Strawn Wise and once semi-famous American illusionist, flies down to New Zealand to look after a daughter he’s never met. The unlikely pair agree to go camping while Mum recuperates. Unbeknownst to the unlikely duo is what lies ahead; from treacherous encounters that will test their mettle, alongside a bitter divide between a hurt daughter angry at her long absent father. And through it all, a primal entity watches the duos every move, a deadly beast that may just be the solution to all their woes.
