Lucky Rival is the only beast hunter of cryptids in his home town of Darteret. The week begins with the capture of a werewolf but with a camera man on the job, questions are asked about how he is able to obtain such interesting shots. The camera man doesn't reveal his secrets, he keeps them to himself along with the idea that he knows Lucky from somewhere but can't seem place where he knows him from.
Beast hunter Lucky Rival, his sister Candace, and their little brother Max meet to attend a vigil but are quickly turned around because of a fighting pack of werewolves. They soon realize that going to law enforcement doesn't help in this instance because the law seems to be on the side of the werewolves rather than that of the humans.
The Rivals eventually split up after there is a chase by a werewolf but their sibling closeness brings them back together almost in a way that duplicates their childhood when they are confronted by a werewolf again. Through the luck of having a weapon, Lucky Rival is able to chase the werewolf into the forest and later, he receives some interesting news.

"Did you read the paper, Son?" Lucky's father asked.


"Looks like you've got some competition heading your way. I mean Darteret and Creek Dams are a stones throw from each other. I didn't know the cryptid population was that big in Creek Dams." He said.


"Yeah it is. I've been wanting to set up shop there for a while but I can't seem to convince the sheriff that it's a good idea."


"Well now you don't have to.  This story says Creek Dams has a millionaire beast hunter that's willing to do what you won't do." Said his dad.


"Let me see that." Lucky said, grabbing the newspaper before his father could give it to him. He scanned the stories until he found the story his dad was talking about and read it silently.
