Wildlife cameraman Gordon Buchanan hopes to get closer to wild wolves than anyone before to discover the true nature of this feared predator and heads to the north of Canada in search of a pack that has never seen people and so has no fear of humans. He begins to gain the trust of an Arctic wolf family and as time passes becomes accepted by the pack, including a female and its three newborn pups, and has some close encounters that reveal a softer side to the animals.
Gordon Buchanan's dream is to get closer to wild wolves than anyone before to discover the true nature of this feared predator. He reunites with his white wolf family as they try to raise their pups and prepare for winter. Gordon walks with wolves as they hunt lemmings, musk ox and hares and encounter a rival pack. This could be the closest anyone has been to wild wolves since they were domesticated more than 10,000 years ago. A moving and unique tale of wolf family life.
Gordon Buchanan meets the animals who live in nature's winter wonderlands, from the polar bear mother helping her cubs to the owl searching for food.
