Set in a remote, insular tribal community governed by strict primitive laws regarding reproduction and dominance—where the dominant alpha male holds exclusive rights and community hierarchy dictates mating customs—the fragile social structure is disrupted by the arrival of an outsider. A city-born nature photographer wanders into the settlement and unwittingly poses a challenge to the established tribal order. As the photographer interacts with the community members and grows close to the leader's circle, secret desires, jealousy, and fierce territorial conflicts erupt over breaking the strict laws of the tribe.
