Pioneer Species

Home from a long stint in the Amazon, Nick is sunburnt, bug-bitten, and ready for his grandmother’s pumpkin pie. But when a hunting trip goes awry, he is given no other choice but to start anew and make a family he can call his own. What does it take to survive in a forest where the trees seem more kindred than his own relatives?
