Twelve-year-old Coral is excited to be going on an October elk hunt with her father in the Colorado mountains, but when he announces that he is getting remarried she is upset and angry with him--but when a big storm rolls in and her father is injured by his skittish horse she has to put aside her feelings and fears and concentrate on making it down the mountain safely.
Luke and his father head back to Colorado in search of majestic elk where Luke applies his knowledge from past hunts and finds himself three steps away from a giant elk.
