In 1967, Paul James Dering is acquitted of his family's brutal murder. Winning in court, however, does not help him regain the confidence of friends and neighbors. In a desperate attempt to escape scrutiny, he flees the town of Hallock, Minnesota, with three wolves by his side. Their small pack heads north into Canada's Arctic, but he quickly discovers that survival on the tundra requires the effort of more than just one man and his animals. It is not until an Inuit widow rescues him and a shaman adopts him that he discovers what it means to really be part of a community and to possess personal sovereignty. With the shaman's help, Paul regains the mangled pieces of his memory and discovers what truly happened the night his family died.
