A priest defrocked for squealing on his Bishop returns to Wisconsin's Brule Valley searching for his birth mother. He ends up becoming the infamous hermit of the Brule, robbing cabins to stay alive. Stanski and Davecki are called to a B&E by Oliver and Sarah O'Grady where they find yet another crime committed by the infamous Hermit of the Brule whose trademark M.O. is breaking into cabins and stealing books and food items, leaving valuables behind. Their challenge is to bring a criminal to justice who is smarter than the both of them combined, and has expert animal help from land, and air.
