In the rugged Black Mountains of Pakistan, the unexpected discovery of an unconscious stranger sets off a chain reaction of turmoil. The village leader grapples with mounting challenges, including the mysterious injured man, whilst his daughter's romantic correspondence incurs his ire. A prophetic lame boy's warnings fall on deaf ears, and a valiant wolf-dog battles the elements to rescue a soldier. Amidst this chaos, a battered wife, tormented by her husband for bearing only daughters, carries a child that may be her salvation.

The mountain spirits observe the human drama unfolding below with a wary eye. In this land steeped in legend, bound by tradition, and plagued by ongoing strife and modernisation, can the villagers forge a harmonious relationship with nature without destroying either? Feryal Ali-Gauhar's 'An Abundance of Wild Roses' weaves a tapestry of interconnected lives, exploring the delicate balance between progress and preservation in a world where myth and reality intertwine.
