Synopsis: After ten years in prison, Lang returns to his hometown in north-west China, now almost abandoned and about to be razed to the ground to make way for a factory complex. In the effort to clean up the town before the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Lang can only find work hunting stray dogs. A dangerous black dog with a high capture reward bites Lang. The two are isolated to prevent the spread of the rabies virus and a friendship develops between them. Through its deeply sincere portrayal of the relationship between man and animal, the film tells a story of redemption and renewal.
