When a fearful beast arrives in the township, Cass finds her courage and is rewarded with a wild and magical journey.
A mysterious creature takes Cass, a young girl, on a thundering ride through a forested landscape, leaving her town and people far behind. In the wilderness that is home to the beast, Cass finds adventure, ferocity, and gentleness. And the beast finds its name.
