Bigfoot. The Lochness Monster. Mothman. What is one thing they all have in common? They are Cryptids. What else do they have in common? The so called ‘Cryptid Catchers’ have never caught a single one. The gang is down on their luck and thinking all hope for them is lost. But when one cowardly Mayor hires them under false pretenses, the Cryptid Catchers have one last shot at proving themselves. But everything is not as it seems, and they may find that this job is more curious than they could ever believe.
