When Kazan and his owner, Thorpe, travel to the Canadian wilderness they meet McCready, whom the dog instantly recognises and the evil man plans to kill Thorpe’s wife, Isobel. Why does McCready want to kill Isobel, and will he succeed? Can Kazan save the woman? What will the wolf-dog choose in the end: will he stick with his new family, or will he run away?
