On a small farm in a Norwegian forest, a family live a purposefully isolated life, aiming to be wild and free. Maria and Nik Payne, along with their four children Ulv, Falk, Freja, and Ronja, are self-sufficient.
They practice home-schooling and strive for a closely-knit family dynamic in harmony with nature.
However, when tragedy strikes the family, it upends their idyllic world and forces them to forge a new path into modern society.
