In the dead of winter, at a wildlife rescue center on the pacific coast of so called Canada, a team of rehabbers treat Bald Eagles suffering from lead poisoning so that they can be released back to their environment. The film gently follows a difficult season and the perennial tension at the core of the rehabbers code of ethics: how to care for wild animals in a human environment while maintaining the dignity and wildness of the animal. At what point does the harm of treatment exceed the potential benefits of care?
