Russel Susskit hates waking up to the sound of his father's coughing, the smell of diesel oil, the noise of snow machines starting up. Only Oogruk, the shaman who owns the last teamof dogs in the village, understands Russel's longing for the old ways and the songs that celebrated them. But Oogruk cannot give Russel the answers he seeks. Russel takes Oogruk's dogs on an epic journey of self-discovery that will change his life forever.
