In 1897, a young Jack London chases his fortune to the Klondike. But the harsh Alaskan wilderness is a brutal opponent. Hunger, frostbite, and violent prospectors threaten to destroy London's dreams of wealth and glory. With only his wits and a mangy sled dog to rely on, London must navigate a world of lawlessness and brutality to strike it rich—or die trying. In this gripping historical drama, the future literary icon is forged in the crucible of the Yukon.
