In a remote and mysterious town in the Appalachians, a series of strange disappearances and supernatural events leave the community engulfed in fear. The story follows a young hunter, caught between tradition and skepticism, who is forced to confront his own demons when his younger brother vanishes into the woods, just after discussing a legend of a black wolf that haunts the area.
As the town divides between those who believe in the mythically terrifying creature and those who think it's just a myth, the hunter embarks on a dangerous quest through the dark and thorny paths of the forest. With each step deeper into the undergrowth, he discovers that the legend of the wolf may have roots in an ancestral tragedy that has tormented his family for generations.
With the help of an energetic girl from town, who has knowledge of the old legends and secrets of the forest, they delve into a world of mysticism and reflection on the nature of fear. As dark family secrets are revealed and supernatural forces are confronted, the hunter must decide whether to succumb to panic or face the black wolf, not only to save his brother but also to free his town from the shadow that suffocates it. Confronting his own fears, he will discover that sometimes, the true horror lies not in the beast, but in the human heart.
