This film takes audiences on a bizarre quest with Troy James Hurtubise, a "close-quarter bear researcher," who's obsessed with going face-to-face with a deadly grizzly bear. Troy is the creator of what he hopes is a grizzly-proof suit of armor--protective clothing that is both an extraordinary fusion of high-tech materials and homespun ingenuity--and of his own hybrid mythology that is part Hollywood, part Canadian Shield.
