In 1995, the US Fish and Wildlife Service reintroduced wolves from Canada into the north-west region of the US. This much-publicized and controversial Wolf Reintroduction Program reignited a war on wolves that had ended in the late 1930s with their brutal extermination. While opponents and supporters battle, the film takes viewers on a journey into the wilds of Idaho to track the "White Cloud Pack". Illustrating remarkable similarities to human nature, the pack's struggle for survival encourages a deeper understanding of this most fascinating social predator as we discover the true cost of freedom.
