Wolf is a loner, growing up in a home with an alcoholic, unpredictable father. The only love he feels comes from his best friend Polly, who happens to be the ghost of a Japanese girl.

As Wolf grows, the ghost helps him cope until ultimately Wolf must make the most significant decision of his life. Only his unique friends, powerful imagination, and recollections of his past life as a samurai warrior will help him choose the right path.
