After a family tragedy, Albert attempts to guide his son, Allie into manhood at the request of his overbearing and traditional father, Eugene. 


Throughout the film Albert and Allie embark on a series of hunting trips, all while Eugene's influence looms over them. In the process, Allie starts to harden into someone Albert no longer recognises, leading Albert to question the values he's spent his whole life practicing.
