Hunting Season 2025

Quiet life in the woods

In the remote woods of Oklahoma, Bowdrie and his daughter Tag live a disciplined, off-grid life. Bowdrie acts as protector and mentor while Tag, sharp and independent, helps keep their simple routine intact.

Tag finds an injured woman

While fishing near the river, Tag stumbles upon a badly injured woman named January. She is bloodied and near death, and Bowdrie's instinct is to keep outsiders at bay, but they decide to bring her inside and tend to her wounds.

January begins to recover

January slowly recovers in the cabin as Bowdrie and Tag provide care and camouflage her presence from the outside world. The fragile trust built in those hours bridges the gap between stranger and family.

Moral reckoning
