Synopsis

Like most teenagers, Penelope is caught up in the modern world’s technology, pacing and pressure. But something is missing; things feel off. On the surface her life seems great while, inside, there’s a fierceness brewing. After a chance encounter with a wolf on a school camping trip, the call becomes too loud for Penelope to ignore, and she runs away. Without a plan, Penelope navigates her way through a series of encounters, eventually sneaking into a National Forest. But this is only the beginning of a long journey through the unknown wilderness and Penelope’s quest to find her place.
