North Jersey hinterland. One fateful night, while returning from a local tavern, Link discovers the injured collie in a ditch, setting off a transformation not just in the dog’s fortunes but in Link’s life as well. He rescues Chum, and as they recuperate together, a deep friendship blossoms between the two, reshaping Link's solitude into a newfound happiness.
