A former detective visits a reclusive man living in the woods to seek information about his brother's cold case. The two men strike a tense bargain involving a mysterious note found on a dog's collar and their shared history of unresolved trauma.
JACK: You know, technically, living like this is illegal.
THE WALKING MAN: So you’re here to arrest me?
JACK: No.
THE WALKING MAN: Why not?
JACK: I don’t work around here anymore.
THE WALKING MAN: So you’ll send your police friends out to get me instead?
JACK: No. I won’t. You’re not causing any harm. Besides, don’t think the police would be interested. They mostly just feel sorry for you.
