Forensic entomologist Nick Polchak lives in a world of maggots and blow flies and decomposing bodies. No wonder he's still single. But Nick has finally found a woman as strange as he is-dog trainer Alena Savard, a woman who can seemingly talk to animals, a person so odd and reclusive that some think she must be a witch. It was a match made in heaven. Nick and Alena are scheduled to be married on Saturday-but there's one small problem. Nick has disappeared.
