Spoilers ahead

The film begins with a wild, untamed woman (played by Pollyanna McIntosh) who, despite her rugged appearance, appears to care for a young child. A wolf, seemingly domesticated, also circles the child, adding to the disturbing atmosphere. It is hinted that this woman is the last survivor of a cannibalistic Native American tribe that has wandered the northeast coast for years, a detail tying back to the events of the 2009 film Offspring.
