Nowadays, in Belgium, deep in the thick Ardenne forest, a beast, more huge and dangerous than all those usually living in these woods, has recently devastated an old abandoned pigsty. A French tourist couple found themselves trapped in the woods after their vehicle was hit by the creature which was defending itself against poachers before fleeing. To survive, and hopefully regain civilization while deep in the woods, the couple has no choice but to follow the surviving poachers. They intend to make trophies like no other thanks to the largest wild boar ever discovered... or rather the biggest sow, and not just any of it : the Crommyonian sow. After being recently freed from the underworld, this creature a little larger, and much more powerful, than an African elephant, with tusks that could destroy any metal, took shelter in the corner. It's obvious that her family will soon come looking for her, but she clearly won't need them to show these hunters that if there's one trophy anyone can't have, it's her !
