In the frozen Arctic, Raven the trickster steals a polar bear cub from his mother and leaves him with a hunter and his wife. They raise the child as their own, singing songs of ice, wind and the great white bears. Seven years later, Raven lures him back into the wilderness, where he is reunited with his bear family. Torn between two homes, the child must find a way to belong to both the human world and the wild.
