In the remote town of Kapaskacing, deep in Northern Ontario, something ancient has awakened. When a series of brutal, inexplicable killings sends shockwaves through the community, the local police are left scrambling for answers. With no signs of human involvement and only the most vicious wounds left behind, whispers of an old legend—the Ma’iingan, a vengeful spirit wolf—resurface among the townsfolk.

Inspector Bradley McDonald, newly promoted and eager to prove himself, is sent to investigate the strange deaths alongside the seasoned and cynical Sergeant Lucas Bouchard. As they dig deeper into the town’s history and the chilling details of each killing, they uncover something far more sinister than they could have imagined. The evidence points to a predator larger and deadlier than anything they’ve encountered—an otherworldly creature fueled by an ancient wrath.

The locals are convinced the Ma’iingan has returned, angered by the town’s environmental exploitation and the desecration of the land. Bradley and Lucas must navigate the tension between science and superstition, relying on the knowledge of an Ojibwe elder, Awasis, who warns that the spirit of the wolf won’t rest until the damage is undone. But as the body count rises, it becomes clear that no one is safe from the creature’s wrath, and time is running out to stop it.

Shadow of the North is a gripping blend of supernatural horror and Nordic noir set against the haunting backdrop of the Canadian wilderness. As the line between myth and reality blurs, Bradley and Lucas must confront not only the mysterious force stalking the town but also their own fears as they race to uncover the truth before the Ma’iingan claims its next victim.
