Birds of Prey

Synopsis

Hugh is an old man whose sole release from a dangerous world in which everyone preys on someone is through a symbiotic relationship with his pet eagle. Watching it, he feels free and fearless. When the bird is killed in a burglary, Hugh lures the culprit back to replace the eagle on the perch. But now he is drawn into a very different kind of journey.
