Philip Andre "Mickey" Rourke Jr. (born September 16, 1952) is an American actor and former boxer who has appeared primarily as a leading man in drama, action, and thriller films. During the star of the 1980s, Rourke played supporting roles in films like Body Heat (1981) and Diner (1982), before portraying leading roles in films like The Motorcycle Boy in Rumble Fish (1983), Charlie Moran in The Pope of Greenwich Village (1984), Captain Stanley White in Year of the Dragon and John Gray in 9½ Weeks (1986). He received critical praise for his work in the Charles Bukowski biopic Barfly and the horror mystery Angel Heart (both 1987). In 1991, following a string of critical and commercial failures, Rourke—who trained as a boxer in his early years—left acting and became a professional boxer for a time. After retiring from boxing in 1994, Rourke returned to acting and had supporting roles in several films such as The Rainmaker (1997), Buffalo '66 (1998), Animal Factory, Get Carter (both 2000), The Pledge (2001), Once Upon a Time in Mexico (2003), Man on Fire (2004) and Domino (2005). In 2005, Rourke made a comeback in mainstream Hollywood circles with a lead role in the neo-noir action thriller Sin City, for which he won awards from the Chicago Film Critics Association, the Irish Film and Television Awards, and the Online Film Critics Society. This comeback culminated in his portraying aging wrestler Randy 'The Ram' Robinson in the sports drama film The Wrestler (2008). For the role, Rourke won the Golden Globe Award and BAFTA Award for Best Actor, and received a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actor. After this, Rourke appeared in several commercially successful films; Iron Man 2, The Expendables (both 2010) and Immortals (2011), before primarily going on to work in independent and direct-to-video productions.

When Grace was 11 years old, on a snowy day, she was attacked by a pack of wolves in the woods in her backyard. But one wolf saved her life and she remembers him for his distinctive yellow eyes. She's been watching for him ever since, referring to him as "her wolf." Five years later, Grace is now 16 and has good friends. But yet, she couldn't find the right guy. There have been a few wolf sightings in her town and one student has gone missing. Some believe he disappeared after a supposed wolf attack. The boy's dad, the sheriff, declares a legalized wolf hunt. One night, while she's home alone, Grace hears a knock on her back door, and when she answers it, she sees a boy about her age, naked, on his knees, and severely wounded from a gunshot. After seeing that the boy's eyes are yellow, Grace realizes this boy, Sam, is "her wolf."
