"FIRST THING YOU DO, IS NEVER UNDERESTIMATE YOUR PREY "A wolf can sleep through a blizzard. He can run over a hundred miles without a rest. He can go days without water. He eats a third of his weight in one meal. He can pick up the scent of a prey for over a mile away. He is a relentless hunter who will wear down his prey until it drops from exhaustion no matter how big it is. A single wolf can bring down a full grown moose. He never gives up once he has made up his mind." Miles Coffin utters these words to a group of businessmen from New York City on a hunting trip in Alaska. Their target prey; wolves. Coffin, an authority on wolves, is hired to guide them into the wilderness. The men are Max Taylor, chairman of a cosmetics company and his sons, Giff and Andy, who are at odds with each other. Although Coffin is their guide he is also a man with a purpose; to hunt and kill Midnight, a large black wolf, with whom he has a personal vendetta.
