Sam Christos has been helping his grandpa take pictures since he was old enough to carry the camera gear. A family holiday in Saskatchewan was going to be his big chance to show Grandpa what a great nature photographer he could be. But his grandpa has been taken ill and Sam has to take the photos on his own.
Suddenly, his lens picks up what looks like a gigantic shadowy creature. But, just as he is about to press the button to take a picture, a girl jumps into the shot and it’s ruined. Can he shake her off and track down the mysterious creature again? Will he take a picture that makes Grandpa proud?
