A young male leopard reaching independence & pushed out of his natal territory by his mom, finds solace in the safety of his father's vast territory. Still tolerated for the time being he explores its range learning essential survival skills, hunting experience, while avoiding other predators & dominant males. Even at this age they are solitary animals interacting with other leopards only during mating season. To survive he needs to be a ghost within the territory. Then, confusing his situation & unfamiliar with mating rituals, he's confronted by a female being both enticing & aggressive.
