Summer, 1945. Eight children from Gross Rosen concentration camp find a provisional hiding place in a nearby abandoned orphanage, hidden deep within the forest. After escaping the horrors of war, these feral children strive to return to a normal life, but suddenly, their idyllic, peaceful quietness is interrupted. Encroaching from all sides within the forest, wolfhounds are circling. Released by SS officers before the liberation of Gross Rosen, these bloodthirsty hounds – taught to brutalize and kill prisoners with extreme precision – surround the orphanage. As their attempts to escape fail, these starving, thirsty children are driven mad – and back into the wilderness – but the true danger lurks inside the ramshackle palace they now call home.
