Lone Wolf

Mimmo argues with Luca: he expects more money for his deliveries or he will say names. Mimmo notices someone behind Luca's back, gets upset and drives away in the cover-up truck used to smuggle drugs. Mimmo is stopped by the cops along the route and his truck is searched, but nothing is found inside. Mimmo is let go. James is a wildlife photographer. He lives in Los Angeles. James arrives in a small town on the Italian Alps to photograph an elusive wolf. James immediately becomes friend with Susanna, the bartender of the local bar, and the two start developing a relationship based on curiosity and interest in each other’s lives. Susanna wants to leave the country; after meeting James she checks how much money she saved and discovers she has almost enough to leave the small town. One evening Susanna invites James to a town fair and he accepts. The two have fun and James tells Susanna a story that happened to him in Louisiana. The two dance, drink and smoke a joint. James walks away and begins to wander around the town, until he sees Luca and Mimmo from far away: it’s the opening scene. Susanna searches and finds James. She drags him away, but Luca intercepts them. James and Luca almost get into a fight, but Susanna is able to prevent it. She asks James to take her home, where they have sex. James goes to the usual bar, but Susanna doesn't work there anymore. James returns home and completes the fairy tale drawings. The fairy tale is narrated with an animation and voice over. The next morning James retrieves the camera and finds it ruined. Looking at the footage, James discovers the camera has recorded a homicide. He recognizes Luca killing a person, while a third, an accomplice to the murder, is off-screen and cannot be fully seen, making the figure non recognizable. James goes to the police and finds out that Luca is a cop. With an excuse, he leaves the police station and calls Susanna, who advises him to go home and she will join him soon. James watches again the footage. Thanks to a glass from which he is drinking, acting as a magnifying lens, James discovers that Susanna is the accomplice to the murder due to the tattoo on her wrist. Susanna arrives at the house with Luca. James forgot his cell phone in the car. He quickly installs the camera so that it can record the entry of Luca and Susanna. James escapes from the back and runs to his pickup truck, enters and drives away. Luca and Susanna notice it and pursue him. James tries to call the police, but the phone dies. Luca manages to send James off the road. James is still alive when Luca and Susanna arrive at the car upside down. James manages to save time by telling Luca that the video has been uploaded to a virtual hard drive so there is an online copy that only he can delete with the password. Luca and Susanna load James into the car and take him back to his house. Luke orders James to direct Susanna where to go in order to delete the footage. James manages to put Luke and Susanna against each other. Luca is about to shoot Susanna, when James lashes out, still handcuffed, against Luca. The two fights, but Luca has the upper hand and stuns James. However, the hero did enough for Susanna to hide. Luca starts looking for Susanna. Meanwhile James recovers and hits Luca with the laptop. Susanna appears behind Luca and stabs him. Susanna embraces James, but James sees that Luca is still alive and about to shoot. To protect Susanna, James shields her with his body and is killed. James and Luca are dead. Susanna tries to make it look like James stabbed Luca and Luca shot James, but the final scene was recorded by the hidden camera. The police is watching the footage as they take Susanna away in handcuffs.
