Tracy doesn't know his real name. He only knows the man reminds him of some kind of wild animal-a wolf. So, when this intimidating stranger strides over one day and warns Tracy to stay away from where he and his wolf pack roam-or suffer deadly consequences-Tracy isn't all that surprised. Yet, Tracy has never been one to back down, even against someone towering over him. Being the smallest in any group has taught him how to hold his ground, and he's not about to let the Wolf scare him off.
The next time their paths cross, the Wolf approaches Tracy, ready for confrontation. But instead of shrinking away, Tracy stands firm, staring up at the larger man and making it clear he won't be intimidated. To Tracy's surprise, the Wolf's reaction is unexpected: he stares, either stunned or impressed, before turning on his heel and leaving. Confused but unwilling to waste more time, Tracy returns to his task of gathering supplies for his ailing grandmother.
Days later, as Tracy arrives in the city, he hears labored breathing and the unmistakable sound of someone in pain. Rushing to investigate, he finds the Wolf-wounded and vulnerable. Against his better judgment, Tracy brings him home to nurse him back to health. The Wolf is silent for days, but when he finally speaks, he unravels a tale of betrayal, crime, and corruption he had tried to stop. Fearing for both of their safety, he pleads with Tracy to let him stay.
Moved by the story, Tracy agrees. But soon, he notices something strange: the once-fearsome Wolf seems compelled to follow his every request, no matter how small. Tracy can't help but wonder-what exactly is behind the Wolf's loyalty?
Meanwhile, the Wolf's enemies lurk in the shadows, vowing to destroy him by targeting what he holds most dear: the people he has come to care for.
