What happens

Wolves is a 2022 Canadian psychological thriller film, written, directed, produced, shot, edited, and scored by Danny Dunlop. The film stars Mark Nocent as an unnamed lonely and directionless young man who becomes obsessed with trying to solve a series of killings and dismemberings of animals, after learning on the news that police psychological profilers have identified the likely perpetrator as somebody uncomfortably similar to himself. The film was inspired by a real-life series of unsolved animal deaths in Dunlop's hometown of London, Ontario, in the late 2010s, which was identified as a public emergency due to the risk that recurring animal killings of this type are sometimes a precursor to the perpetrator becoming a serial killer of humans. The film premiered April 1, 2022 as part of the Cinequest Film & Creativity Festival's virtual Cinejoy lineup, and was later screened as part of the festival's live in-theatre program in August. It had its Canadian premiere in August at the Regina International Film Festival. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
