What will happen if a spoiled domestic dog, accustomed to the climate of warm California, is transported to cold and cruel Alaska, and even during the "gold rush" of the 80s of the XIX century? Nobody knows, but this is exactly the story that happened to Buck. His quiet home life changed radically when the dog was sent to Alaska. But there he met a man who became a real friend to him - a man named John Thornton. Together, the two will experience many adventures in the wild forests of Alaska, and a dog that has never even been in a dog sled will be able to become a true leader. Everyone has a place in this life.
