Hidden away in the garden shed, Michael stumbles upon a surprising secret - a frail stranger with owl-like wings, a curious amalgamation of man and nature. A friendship blossoms between them as Michael helps this mysterious 'owl man' regain his strength, eventually relocating him to a tree house sanctuary when his father unknowingly threatens their bond by burning down the shed.
