The great, brown wolf, Bronzefur, must lead his pack to the hills to ensure its safety. However, the pack is caught in the middle of dangerous wastelands, and the storms never seem to relent. With the lives of their young threatened by hunger, the pack is driven to the point of desperation. The road is difficult and they are still far away from the hills, thus, seeing a lone wolf in the distance, Bronzefur decides he must kill it so that the meat would ensure the pack's survival, ignoring the elder wolf's opposition. As they approach the lone wolf, it becomes clear that it is stronger than Bronzefur had estimated, but he can no longer back down. The scars that the lone wolf carries on his body, along with his striking, golden eyes, force the brown wolf to hesitate at first, but immediately after, he strikes.
