Buck, a domestic dog, is stolen from his comfortable California home and sold into the brutal Alaskan Klondike. Forced to adapt to the harsh realities of the wild, he must learn to hunt, fight, and survive against the elements and other dogs. As Buck's primal instincts awaken, he is torn between the call of civilization and the allure of the untamed wilderness. In a desperate bid for freedom, he must make the ultimate choice - to succumb to the wild or return to the life he once knew.
