While a forest fire rages out of control in the nearby mountains, a group of close friends gather for an anniversary celebration. But when an unexpected gift turns a civil conversation about the local wolf cull into a heated argument, personal interests begin to threaten the stability of the “pack.” This riveting dissection of human relationships and the forces that control our deepest motivations will keep you on the edge of your seat.
