In 1954, in the cook house of a logging and sawmills settlement in northern New Hampshire, an anxious twelve year old boy mistakes the local constable's girlfriend for a bear. Both the twelve year old and his father become fugitives, forced to run from Coos County to Boston, to southern Vermont, to Toronto pursued by the implacable constable. Their lone protector is a fiercely libertarian logger, once a river driver who befriends them.
