In a world where dogs possess intelligence and societal structure, Weed, an ordinary canine, discovers a hidden legacy. Rumors of his parentage – the son of Gin, a legendary leader who united the Ohu dogs against a formidable threat – ignite a profound desire within him. Driven by this newfound heritage, Weed embarks on a quest to locate his father and understand the weight of his lineage.

His journey takes him through diverse landscapes populated by both loyal companions and those who seek to impede his progress. The narrative explores themes of identity, destiny, and the challenges of forging one's own path while grappling with the expectations of the past.
