- The Wolf is part 1 of a two part short film. A story about the path we take as souls, how we interact and interface, lifetime after lifetime, playing roles in each other lives. Sometimes we're the Good Guy. Sometimes we're the Bad.
- Joshua has been working Wilehelm's ranch for years when a new comer to the west, Bruck, arrives, buying up the land and buying out ranchers. Joshua is the last to surrender what he's worked so long for - the ranch and all of its land - set to be his when Wilhelm dies. But there's a history longer than a single Land Baron and a hard-working ranch hand. Joshua and Bruck have been through this struggle before in other lives as the scene is set for them to confront each other once again.
- Joshua has been working Wilhelm's ranch for nearly ten years. A widower and childless, Wilhelm has said he'll cede the ranch and all of its land to Joshua next year. But just as Joshua is set to take over the ranch as his, Bruck, a land baron from back east, arrives. As he buys up the land and buys out ranchers, Joshua eventually becomes the last hold-out - he refuses to sell. The Wolf opens with Joshua out hunting wolves that have been making off with the ranches young sheep. Joshua is running through the woods, eyes on the wolf. As he draws up, getting a shot at the wolf, the wolf stops and looks back. Joshua can't shoot it. He lowers his rifle and heads back. On the way, however, he spots Bruck, waiting by a fire Joshua had built while out hunting the wolf. Joshua is tense, feeling something is wrong that Bruck has come so far out to find him. He brings the gun down off his shoulder, checks the bullet, and cocks the rifle. Tense, Joshua comes down off the hill and he and Bruck confront one another. Bruck asks if Joshua has been out hunting and Joshua replies, "There've been wolves about." With a glint in his eye, Bruck informs Joshua that Wilhelm is no longer in the picture. Words are exchanged. Guns are drawn. And Joshua decides the the wolf he should have been hunting all along is Bruck. Bruck goes to draw one of his silver pistols, Joshua panics, and shots are exchanged. Joshua falls, disbelieving as he realizes that Bruck has missed shooting him but that Joshua has shot Bruck in the chest. Having already wounded Bruck in the first draw, Joshua slowly gets back on his feet, walks over to the dying man and says: "You're the Wolf." He fires.
