Deep in the hills of Appalachia, immigrants from northern Scotland and their descendants have farmed the land since the late 1700s. Within their veins flows blood from ancient Caledonia and Scandinavia, and not a little of it from the Fianna, the Get of Fenris and a tribe almost forgotten. Through Gaia's will or an oversight on the Wyrm's part, a wonder occurs here. Whether or not this miracle survives is up to the player characters.

Word comes to the Kinfolk that large numbers of cattle and sheep are disappearing without a trace. Perhaps the characters have relatives in Appalachia; they might even own land there that they rent to other Kin. If the characters are "troubleshooters" for their tribe(s), they might hear of the animal disappearances though a Fellowship or simply via the media. Maybe the Garou command them to go see what's happening. Whatever the case, they'll investigate.

What's going on is that a young girl has just gone through her First Change. She's clueless about what's happening, and worse, she's had to run away from home. Her uncle, who raised her after a fiery automobile accident killed her parents, is now trying to murder her! The girl doesn't understand the truth, that her uncle is a former Fianna Kinfolk turned Black Spiral and that she herself is a genetic throwback with some blood of the White Howlers. The girl survives on the run by taking the occasional sheep or cow, in a land that hasn't seen wild wolves in over 100 years.

The uncle calls in the Black Spirals, and they're frantically searching for the girl. Who gets to her first - the Wyrm-ridden Spirals or Kinfolk characters? What if the angry farmers, who call in a special investigator from the Department of Agriculture? (Yes, they have the same legal powers as any special agent). Can the Kinfolk save the girl and keep the Veil intact? How might they fare against a ferocious group of Black Spirals? This interesting twist for the Kinfolk is that, unless they're incredibly well in Garou Lore or tales of the Wyrm, they're going to have no clue about the girl's heritage. Their mission is to rescue the girl and get her to safety among a tribe that will take her in (possibly Black Furies, Children of Gaia, Fianna, Get of Fenris or Glass Walkers).
