In his late teens, Jack London heads for gold in the Yukon. On board a ship heading to the tundra, he meets Klondike Kate and other members of a motley crew. London becomes a boxer to earn his keep, treks into a gold claim with Cassius and meets Pippa who is looking for her brother, lost in the arctic. Aided by his friends and a Native American tribe, London has the experience of a lifetime that propelled his career as an author.
