Just 60 miles from the Arctic Circle lies a town on the edge of civilization: Tanana, Alaska. This frozen village of 200 people is at the junction of two powerful rivers, with no roads in or out, where wolves howling through the frigid night air remind the residents how isolated they really are. As the men come together to face these new obstacles, each is also challenged on a personal level. At the end of the day, each man will be pushed to the limit. Pushed to decide: How far will they go to live free? To be a Yukon Man?
The village of Tanana is low on meat. Stan Zuray and his son, Joey, are forced to take a deadly journey into the Yukon Mountains to hunt for caribou. Meanwhile, Charlie Wright must face the threat of a lone wolf that is terrorizing the town.
