The first night she hears a howling wolf in her sleep. But then, when she tells her dad and other people about it, they say that it's impossible, since the last wolf that lived in the surrounding forests was hunted many years ago. Olivia is surprised by the news, as she hears the howls every night, each time sharper and clearer. With the help of her friend Pedro, Olivia decides to track the animal, without suspecting that in her search she will discover an amazing talent of her own.
