"The Hairy Ones"

Phony yet successful TV psychic Micah Gabel agrees to take part in a documentary looking for Bigfoot directed by his former boss and mentor, Edna Kidd, (against the advice of Micah's semi-secret boyfriend, Daniel.) But Micah has an ulterior motive. Years earlier, Edna refused to sign off on Micah's televised search for the ghost of a little girl suspected of being murdered in the Nantahala forest. The very forest where the doc is being filmed. But Micah's plans to sabotage production are interrupted by their guide, the obsessed and dangerous Sasquatch hunter Humbert, who believes Bigfoot to be a type of demon. A struggle that leaves both Edna and Humbert dead sets Micah on a quest to recover Edna's body and save the naive cameraman with whom Micah has begun an affair. But nature is possessive of its dead, and the spirits of the forest are not going to let Edna's corpse go. This retelling of the epic of Gilgamesh follows Micah on a journey through hell, confronting the ghosts of his many lies and past mistakes. Also literal ghosts.
