Before radioactivity caused the closure of the Grand Canyon, the young ranger Sue saw a strange animal in Horn Creek: a bizarre stag with twisted horns and perhaps long fangs. Now, close to retirement, she's about to make her last round of inspection together with her niece Katy in hope that she'll take her place someday. But the purpose of Katy's visit is to capture the stag in a video to feed it to internet users.
