Deep in the heart of the Alaskan wilderness, the Iditarod trail plays host to the last great race. From Anchorage to Nome, 96 teams will attempt to traverse over a thousand miles of the most inhospitable terrain on the planet with 16 finely tuned dogs as an engine. Man and man's best friend must work together, care for each other, and play a disciplined game of strategy if they hope to be first to the finish line in Nome. For some the goal is to win, for others surviving would be a feat all its own.
