Meet a tight-knit pack of Houston bears, big guys with bigger hearts, whose friendship has weathered just about everything life can throw at them. But nothing's prepared them for the nightmare that creeps in with the new year's first chill. Someone out there is hunting bear men, turning their world upside down one brutal attack at a time.
The cops are out of their depth, chasing shadows while panic sweeps through the gay community. For these bears, it's no longer about parties or pride, it's about survival. As each night falls, the threat grows closer, and the bonds that once meant laughter and love are tested by fear and suspicion.
But these men are more than victims. With wit, grit, and the kind of stubborn loyalty that only comes from true brotherhood, they fight to protect each other and push back against the darkness closing in. Can they outsmart the faceless killer before another friend is lost? Or will this be the year everything shatters?
This is a story that'll make you laugh even as you grip the edge of your seat, a wild, aching ride through terror, love, and the unbreakable strength of chosen family.
