Driven by his blossoming hatred for mankind caused by the gruesome way his kind is treated, an elderly crow plots his crow brethren against them; he finds nothing but wickedness and iniquity in the sorry beings, and in his hardened heart, he cannot observe sympathy for them. However, his abhorrence begins to crumble when he befriends a peculiar creature he calls Keeper. In their growing companionship, and many moments of patience and a desire for understanding, he slowly finds that in his heart there may be, after all, a fondness towards humans. Or, at least, for his beloved Keeper.
