  • "Luke Warren jest badaczem wilków. Pisze o nich, studiuje ich zachowania, a kiedyś nawet z nimi zamieszkał. Pod wieloma względami są mu bliższe niż własna rodzina, z którą właściwie nie ma kontaktu, odkąd żona go rzuciła, a syn Edward wyjechał. Niespodziewanie Luke zostaje ciężko ranny w wypadku samochodowym, a wraz z nim siostra Edwarda, Cara. Nagle wszystko się zmienia: Edward musi wrócić do domu, który opuścił przed laty, i razem z siostrą podjąć decyzję co do leczenia ojca. Nie ma łatwych odpowiedzi, za to pojawiają się pytania: jakie tajemnice skrywa przed sobą rodzeństwo? Co stoi za pragnieniem, by pozwolić ojcu umrzeć? lub utrzymać go przy życiu za wszelką cenę? Czego życzyłby sobie sam Luke? I przede wszystkim, na ile zapomnieli to, o czym zawsze pamięta wilk: że członkowie stada potrzebują siebie nawzajem, a przetrwanie czasem idzie w parze z ofiarą?"

Though theres no easy answer, questions abound: What secrets have Edward and his sister kept from each other? What hidden motives inform their need to let their father die . . . or to try to keep him alive? What would Luke himself want?

His son, Edward, twenty-four, fled six years ago, leaving behind a shattered relationship with his father. Edward understands that some things cannot be fixed, though memories of his domineering father still inflict pain.
