The Wolf begins in a military psychiatric ward in North Carolina where Joey Dallriva and Kelly Pickett are locked up for their violent actions while deployed in Iraq. Joey and Kelly are wrestling with demons bigger than themselves. The two escape and as they seek redemption they get further and further from it. They end up in Joey’s hometown of Mantor, Ohio, just after his older brother Bobby’s funeral, who was killed while serving in Iraq. Joey returns to confront his family’s priest, Father Lawrence, a Vietnam Veteran who has been avoiding his own demons for years with dogma and alcohol. Joey and Kelly arrive to find their family and neighbors coping with the war, their losses and their shame however they can. Now they must decide if there is a place for wolves amongst the flock.
