Synopsis
The fierce Antarctic winter is just setting in when an intrepid team of explorers and scientists on a research mission - survival guide Jerry Shepard, his best friend and cartographer Cooper and the rugged geologist Davis - just narrowly escape a fatal accident, thanks to their steadfast team of eight skilled sled dogs. Forced to evacuate, the men must leave the beloved dogs behind in the frozen wilds - with a promise they will return. But when the storm of the century approaches, cutting off all means of travel, the dogs are stranded. Now, as the intelligent, courageous dogs - including noble pack leader Maya, rambunctious rebel Shorty and rising young alpha in - training Max - fight to make it through the most unforgiving winter on the planet, the heartbroken Jerry is driven to mount a seemingly impossible rescue mission, aided by a beautiful and adventurous bush pilot, Katie.
