Description
Dr. Lucy cares for abandoned animals on an isolated Texas ranch, seeking solitude to avoid reminders of her past. However, the townsfolk are unwelcoming, and in 1959, no one is interested in a woman doctor.
African American father and son Calvin and Justin arrive in town, facing hostility from the community. When they bring a wounded wolf-dog hybrid to Dr. Lucy, four outcasts find refuge in each other. Despite their differences, they form strong bonds, but these connections are not allowed when the townspeople turn violently against them.
As Dr. Lucy and Pete say goodbye to Calvin and Justin, they hold onto hope for a better future, keeping their relationships alive through the years until the world catches up with them.
