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. 
Held together only by unwavering bonds of friendship, the humans and the dogs alike make a remarkable journey of 
grit, endurance and belief to find one another again in this spectacular but perilous land.

==============

In the extreme wilderness of Antarctica, three members of a scientific expedition -- Jerry Shepard, his best friend, 
Cooper and a rugged American geologist -- are forced to leave behind their team of beloved sled dogs due to a sudden 
accident and perilous weather conditions in Antarctica. During the harsh, Antarctic winter, the dogs must struggle 
for survival alone in the intense frozen wilderness for more than six months.

==============

In the Antarctic, after an expedition with Dr. Davis McClaren (Bruce Greenwood), the sled dog trainer Jerry Shepherd 
(Paul Walker) has to leave the polar base with his colleagues due to the proximity of a heavy snow storm. He ties 
his dogs to be rescued after, but the mission is called-off and the dogs are left alone at their own fortune. For 
six months, Jerry tries to find a sponsor for a rescue mission while his dogs fight for survival.
