Wild Heart

A boy is snatched from a powerful, established family and grows up surviving on the streets, cut off from everything he once knew. Years later he returns to the family he lost, trying to rebuild his identity and stake a place among people who remember him as someone else. The series traces his attempts to untangle old loyalties, hidden resentments and the expectations of a household shaped by wealth and influence, while he balances the street-hardened instincts that kept him alive with the need to belong and to claim his own future.
