Director Billy Waddler is trying to film a documentary about moose, but the moose in question has no intention of spending his life in the woods, and his animal friends--who have dreams of their own--help him prove his point.

Richard Elster, a 73-year-old reclusive scholar, was selected by the U.S. government to conceptualize troop and artillery logics for a clandestine war plan. Now, with his service completed, he meets up with a filmmaker who wants to make a documentary on Elster's experiences. However, when the story is skewed, Elster's life is plunged into chaos.
