Carlos carries more than scars—he carries silence, regret, and an envelope of memories too heavy to let go. When the road calls him away from the only home he has known, he sets out alone, guided only by instinct and the ache of what he’s lost. But the forest has its own guardians. A wolf’s howl cuts through the night, stirring echoes of a bond from long ago. As Carlos faces storms, hunger, and a pack that hunts with more than instinct, he discovers that survival is not only about endurance—it is about trust, loyalty, and the courage to begin again.
