WOLFWALKERS: DAWN
PREMISE:
Set some time (probably 2 — 3 years) after the events of the first film, we're in an entirely new setting and location that's a fictional 17th century city deep in the heart of Ireland and follow Padraig, the leader of the town bullies in the previous film is now a lanky and down-on-his-luck pre-teen who, along with his struggling mother, lives in the grungiest side of town and are on their own with the whereabouts of his father completely unknown and Padraig now developing health issues.
He now has a more-than-cynical and bitter view on everything and has proceeded to lash out several times, getting him into plenty of trouble and recently a bloody and broken nose with him feeling and being an outcast that's thrown him and his own mother away like they're nothing and through a lot of the first half, we see them in their day-to-day lives, why Padraig is like this and the tensions among the people in this kingdom of sorts starting to finally boil over through his eyes basically.
It's then that after accidentally killing five kids beating on him, he meets what used to be the Great Protector Oliver Cromwell but is now a woodsman living just outside the city and is haunted by his past actions.
Developing a sort-of father-son bond, Padraig is now willing to do whatever it takes since Cromwell has what can give him and his mother the life they want especially at the thought of her finally smiling after all these years, these trials and these tribulations. However it's through their actions that escalates everything in the lower class and in doing so, brings to the attention of several wolfwalkers in hiding including a certain four with connections to the two leads.
