Tristan, a retired firefighter, runs a cherry orchard in the Yakima Valley of Washington State, teetering on the brink of bankruptcy after a hailstorm. On a rainy night, he reunites with Otis, a wild black bear he once rescued—a soulful creature with a passion for heavy metal rock, who becomes his extraordinary partner. From being shunned by the townsfolk to becoming an internet sensation, from orchard hand to the hero of the road-building project, man and bear heal each other and lead the small town toward a new beginning—a heartfelt testament to the true trust and coexistence between humans and wild animals.
