In 1948, Farley Mowat, a Canadian naturalist and wildlife biologist, was sent to northern Manitoba to complete an assignment for Canada's Dominion Wildlife Service. Mass, widespread killings of caribou had been taking place in that area, and many said that the Arctic Wolf was to blame. Mowat was sent to conduct many small experiments and an overall assessment of the Arctic wolves living in the tundra and their relationship with the caribou, thought to be the wolves' main food source. After being flown and dropped off in the middle of the Arctic tundra, he befriends a half-Inuit half-white sled-dog team owner and caribou hunter who allows him to stay in his cabin for the duration of Mowat's assignment.

Mowat walks onto the Arctic tundra with a perception of wolves which mirrors most people's. The wolf, to him, is a ferocious, blood-thirsty beast and at first he is extremely fearful for his safety as well as doubtful of his capability to successfully observe such an allusive animal.

Over the months, however, he sees a side to the wolves that many do not have the opportunity to see and his perception of the wolf is changed forever.
