Shali disappears without a trace, leaving behind only his eagle, while Xingchen and his stargazing group get lost in the village. With the help of Shali's father, Shaye, they form a " Sheep Protection Team" with a lonely eagle and a goose longing to fly and work to protect their sheep from a pack of wolves lurking around Wuliang. As they battle the wolves, the boys learn about the strength of their bonds and the power of friendship.
