The Power of the Dog
Hvad det vil sige at være mand.
Den karismatiske ranchejer Phil Burbank indgyder frygt og nervøsitet i alle omkring sig. Han bor med sin bror, George, og de to har et tæt bånd. Men da George gifter sig med enken, Rose, og hende og teenagesønnen, Peter, flytter ud på gården, føler Phil sig svigtet, og gør alt for at ødelægge stemningen. Ikke mindst ved at håne og udstille den unge mands manglende maskulinitet.
