High above the arctic circle, on a remote Canadian island, an American
sports hunter shoots what he believes is a polar bear. He is mistaken.
His Inuit guide has never seen an animal like this before. The killing
unleashes an investigation by the Canadian authorities. But no-one can
tell exactly what he has shot. The hunter is under threat of prosecution
for a crime he says he didnt commit. Scientists pour over the only
evidence they have the corpse of an animal theyve never seen before.
With each new discovery the mystery deepens as they try to discover the
exact species of this animal.
