Sixteen year-old Owen is a bully, lashing out against life in rural West Virginia. When his actions lead to the death of a friend, he is sent to live with his estranged father, a biologist on Yellowstone’s wolf reintroduction program. Owen wants no part of this new life until the day he comes face to face with a Canadian grey wolf. The creature’s penetrating gaze stirs something long dead within him in this coming of age story with a conservation twist. (USA, 2013, 111 min., Narrative Feature)
