What does it mean to “be-in-kind” with a nonhuman animal? Or in Dr. Sean Kell-Luddon's case, to be-in-kind with one of the last remaining wild wolves? Using a neurological interface to translate her animal subject’s perception through her own mind, Sean intends to chase both her scientific curiosity and her secret, lifelong desire to experience the intimacy and freedom of wolfishness. To see the world through animal eyes, smell the forest, thick with olfactory messages, even taste the blood and viscera of a fresh kill. And, above all, to feel the belonging of the pack.

Sean's tireless research gives her a chance to fulfill that dream, but pursuing it has a terrible cost. Her obsession with work endangers her fraying relationship with her wife. Her research methods threaten her mind and body. And the attention of her VC funders could destroy her subject, the beautiful wild wolf whose mental world she's invading.

As the harsh winter months threaten the pack's survival and Sean's marriage spirals down the drain, she'll be faced with the consequences of her negligence - and be forced to choose whether she'll let the world of wolves and the world she's known both slip through her fingers.
