For centuries, whispers have told of a creature that should not exist. An animal which is massive, potentially deadly, and rarely ever seen or reported. Fragments of oral tradition and folklore mix with the excitement of cryptozoologists who speak of its existence, yet the world dismisses it as nothing more than a campfire story.
But for one determined seeker, the chase is very real. Packing a camera, a notebook, and maps, the journey takes place in the wilds of Connacht. Hidden lakes, pubs, quiet hillsides, Atlantic vistas, and a graveyard await.
What begins as curiosity soon becomes an obsession with visiting all the locations tied to sightings of this creature. The chase begun in earnest becomes a quest spawning two trips to Ireland in which the would-be cryptid hunter is changed.
Is this cryptid merely an ancient myth originally concocted to scare children? Or does an amazing creature still inhabit the lakes and shores of Western Ireland?
Decide for yourself.
