In the state of Montana, the radio in a pickup truck driving through the forest broadcasts news about the increasing number of local residents being affected by recent wild wolf sightings. When the man arrives home and his dog, Max, doesn’t greet him as usual, he gets a strange feeling. He searches around the house, calling for Max, but there is no sign of him anywhere. Just then, a chilling howl of a wolf echoes from beyond the field. Feeling a sense of foreboding, the man hurriedly grabs his shotgun and steps into the forest, following Max's trail.
