But Paul is a man of deep convictions, and the compromises we all make to get along in the world elude him.

Instead of peace, he finds a man savagely beating his dog, Paul takes fateful action. Moments later, he comes out of the woods a different man, with a mysterious dog in tow, and he begins to reclaim his existence.
