A young mum, Janey, runs away with her fragile son, Brodie, to a woodland hut community in Scotland. She doorsteps a boy she has recently met from the community in hope they will be welcomed. As they try understand each other and adjust to their new environment, mother and son are set adrift. They both experience their own kind of awakening but Brodie's odd behavior draws attention and hope of acceptance in the community quickly fades. In frustration, Janey gives up on Brodie, whilst he finds solace in a mysterious wolf he has been seeing since they arrived.
