Not knowing much about life in the wilderness, James plans to sell the cabin and return to his comfortable life in the city, but fate has other plans for him.

As James begins to explore the cabin and surrounding area, he quickly realizes that this is no ordinary piece of property. The cabin is in disrepair, and there is evidence of bear activity all around. James is hesitant to stay, but when a group of hunters arrive at the cabin looking for a place to stay, he decides to tough it out and see what he can make of the situation.

The hunters, a father and son duo, are not what James expected. They are rough around the edges and seem to know their way around the wilderness. Nevertheless, James is determined to make the best of the situation and asks them to show him the ropes of surviving in the wilderness. As the days pass, James begins to feel a sense of belonging in the wilderness and starts to appreciate the beauty and simplicity of life in the wild.
