Plot
The rambunctious and disobedient wolf pup Lynn is adopted by the old and deformed wolf One-Eye after her father is killed. After a year of living together, One-eye’s dark past threatens to catch up to him. One-eye is kidnapped on a hunt by his former clan mates. Led by a cougar named Silkey, One-eye is interrogated as to why after his mission, the once accomplished assassin never returned. One-eye, infuriated, tells Silkey that the wolf there had a family, accidentally revealing that he’d adopted the pup of the wolf he’d killed. Silkey finds this revelation very interesting and tries to convince him to rejoin the clan. When he refuses to return or bring Lynn to them, Silkey leaves him promising to return later. One-eye uses this opportunity to break free and escape.

Meanwhile Lynn grows restless, scared that something has happened to One-Eye. Eventually Lynn leaves their den directly disobeying One-eyes orders. Outside she meets Abbie, a half wild cat, who tries to comfort Lynn and convince her to wait a while longer. But eventually the two find themselves wandering into the meadows in search of food. There the two find One-eye. Finally reunited One-eye and Lynn rejoice after days of being separated but One-Eye’s past is not done with them yet.

Characters
The main characters of the series are One-eye (Daniel) and Lynn. But the show has a larger cast of side characters such as Abbie, Silky, Shiba, and Strike who all have strong intertwining stories.
