After the death of his mother, sixteen-year-old Reid Wilder is sent to live with his estranged grandfather, Orin, in the remote wilderness of northern Ontario. Reid, used to the comforts of city life, is thrust into a world of dense forests, unpredictable wildlife, and an unfamiliar guardian. Orin is a rugged, no-nonsense man whose years of solitude have made him as tough as the land he calls home. Reid struggles to connect with his grandfather, feeling like an outsider in this wild, unforgiving landscape. Reid's initial resentment gradually shifts as Orin begins teaching him the ways of the wilderness—how to forage, hunt, and survive. Their relationship is marked by tension but also moments of shared understanding and connection. Just as Reid starts to feel a sense of belonging, tragedy strikes. During a routine flight in a bush plane with Orin and a pilot, they crash deep in the wilderness. The crash leaves Reid as the sole survivor, with Orin and the pilot both dead. Alone and injured, Reid is forced to draw upon the skills his grandfather taught him. Struggling against hunger, fear, and the relentless elements, Reid battles to survive. He builds makeshift shelters, forages for food, and finds water, all while haunted by memories of Orin's lessons and his mother’s final words. As days turn into weeks, Reid's connection to the wilderness deepens, transforming his perception of both himself and the land around him. He learns to respect nature’s rhythms, finding strength in solitude and adapting to the challenges the forest throws his way. When an unexpected encounter changes the course of his journey, Reid is faced with a difficult choice about his future. Ultimately, he must decide what survival truly means and where he belongs. "Wild Bones" is a story of resilience, transformation, and the profound connection between a young man and the untamed world around him.
