He walks the gullies. He hunts day and night. He watches, he waits, then he takes.On their toughest case yet, Special Agents Nicole Beretti and Noah Jacobi are sent overseas for the first time, to Echo Creek, a quiet Queensland town with a reputation that keeps to the shadows. For generations, locals have whispered about the Wildman, the Yowie said to stalk the scrub and watch the roads at dusk.Now the whispers come with screams.People are vanishing. Homes are hit after dark. Sightings multiply, and fear runs rampant. Some are skeptical the creature even exists, dismissing it as bush gossip and panic, but when seasoned hunters, bush trackers, and the local police fail to stop the attacks or bring back a body, the Australian Federal Police call in Beretti and Jacobi.Working with the AFP, the agents step into a town bracing for nightfall. Something from the bush is stalking Echo Creek, cunning and relentless. It follows the gullies and selects victims unlucky enough to cross its path, day or night.Cut off by distance, with a community on edge and a landscape that swallows evidence, they race to read the signs, anticipate the next strike, and stop the killing so Echo Creek can see dawn without counting the missing."Wildman" drags you into the scrub and refuses to let you look away.
