Samantha Reed visits her dad every summer in La Push, Washington. Last time she was here, she spent most of her time with her childhood friend and neighbor Jacob Black. They've always had this strange connection. Now the time of year for Samantha to visit has come again. Jacob and Samantha rekindle the flame that started last summer. Something else is keeping her in La Push though, her transformation. Just like the Quileutes turn into wolves, the Makahs turn into large bears to look out for the people of La Push.
