Hana is a solo mum to two extraordinary werewolf children. Little Ame and Yuki will soon have to decide whether they want to become humans or wolves.
Hana, a college student, falls in love with a mysterious werewolf. Soon, the couple welcomes two children: half-wolf, half-human Ame and Yuki. The family's peaceful life is derailed by the unexpected death of their father. Hana decides to move to the countryside, away from the hustle and bustle and dangers of the city. Ame and Yuki grow up surrounded by nature, under the watchful eye of their loving mum and the supportive rural community. Soon, however, the siblings will have to go to school. Each will have to find their own path and decide who they want to be in the future: a wolf or a human.
