In rural Canada in the 1990s, a Korean family — a widower, his teenage son, and young daughter — attempts to find their way in a new land while navigating the darkness of their grief. Sonny, a huntsman, is enticed by an old friend to immigrate to Canada where he is hired to eradicate the feral canines plaguing their town in exchange for shelter. Hajoon navigates what it means to be a man and young Hana, missing her mother, dreams up ways to make her return.
