Cocaine Bear

In 1985, drug smuggler Andrew C. Thornton II drops a shipment of cocaine from his plane. He attempts to parachute out with the last drug-filled duffel bag, but knocks himself unconscious on the doorframe and falls to his death. In the Chattahoochee–Oconee National Forest, a large female American black bear eats some of the cocaine. Becoming highly aggressive, it attacks hikers Elsa and Olaf, killing the former.

Andrew's body lands in Knoxville, Tennessee, where he is identified by Bob, a local detective. He concludes that the cocaine is likely from St. Louis drug kingpin Syd White, and the remainder is missing. Meanwhile, Syd orders his widowed son Eddie and fixer Daveed to help him retrieve the cocaine.

In northeast Georgia, middle schooler Dee Dee lives with her mother, nurse Sari. Dee Dee skips school with her best friend Henry in order to paint a picture of a waterfall in the forest. On the trail to the falls, they find a lost brick of cocaine and ingest some, before being attacked by the bear.
