Pierre L'Errant is the oddest man to arrive on the Otter Lake Indian reserve. He rents a room in the dark basement, and only goes out into the forest at night. Sixteen-year-old Tiffany finds him creepy, but when her relationship problems catch up with her, Tiffany flees into the forest, where she meets Pierre, and their lives both change forever.

Adaptation of the novel: The night wanderer : a native gothic novel.
