An orb is tossed upon the earth. It transforms to match its surrounding environment: first a rock, then moss, then a dying wolf. The wolf returns to its last remaining family, a boy living alone in a small home in the snow.
The orb, having morphed into a boy, finds its way to Ninanna, where he is attacked. He is discovered by a girl, March, who may not achieve her goal of becoming a grown-up.
