NIGHT OF THE WOLF

In the wilds of the contemporary frontier, a mother and son confront their greatest fears when faced with a challenge that will change their lives.

Claire McNichol (Oscar nominee Anne Archer, Fatal Attraction, Jake’s Women) is a widowed rancher raising her headstrong son Jesse (Zach Bostrom, Dinosaur). What separates them is Jesse’s desire to be a ranger like his father was, as well as his appreciation for the wild and his love for the wolves that roam it. For Claire, the wolves mean only one thing: a threat to her livestock and her livelihood. But Jesse isn’t dealing with just an overprotective mother. He learns from ranch hand, Purly Owens (Golden Globe nominee Robert Urich, Lonesome Dove), that his mother was the one who found his father frozen to death and left to a pack of hungry wolves. Since then, all Claire has wanted is to make enough money to move back to civilisation. But civilised man is about to pose the greatest threat of all.

When a riding accident leaves Claire stranded, unable to walk, and trapped in remote mountains she finds herself in the company of a ferocious wolf. As Claire’s chances of survival diminish with each passing moment, Jesse has to grow up fast to find his mother and rescue her. But when the boy stumbles upon a dead body, he must outrun the two poachers responsible who are tracking his every move. As Claire develops an unlikely bond with the wolf, she has no idea that the dangers are just beginning. For with Jesse’s rescue will come the two men willing to do anything to keep their secret buried.

A gripping adventure and an inspiring story of human endurance, Alpine Entertainment’s Night of the Wolf explores the value of looking beyond our preconceptions and opening our hearts to a wider world.
