Buck, a pampered dog in the South, is kidnapped and sold as a sled dog during the Yukon gold rush. The harshness of the work, the cruelty of men and rivalry with other dogs awaken his wildest instinct, as he feels the call of nature. A tale of survival and transformation in a frozen environment.

Recommended for readers aged 9 to 12, within the children's and young adult audience.
