Charlie teams up with a fellow Rex-fan, nature ranger Kendra O'Dore, to examine the disappearance of activist and nature photographer Alia Roy, reported by her widowed mother Deena, on the day she was to receive an environmentalist photography award. It turns out she fell from a cable ride while shot. It's the area around a secretive 'data protection' firm on crown land and protected by Defense, whose chief of security Valentine Anson scares even Charlie. A rogue wolf proves the lesser danger while searching the forest for Alia.
