In the near future, all single people are arrested and transferred to the Hotel. There they have 45 days to find the perfect mate. If they fail, they are transformed into an animal of their choosing and released into the woods. To escape this fate, a man flees to the woods, where he joins the Loners, a resistance group – and where, in violation of their rules, he finally falls in love.
