In a tiny village in Alaska, 17-year-old Woody is so desperate that he shoots the oil pipeline, sparking a manhunt led by FBI agent Tarheel and a journey of survival and self-discovery that reconnects him with his Inuit roots.

In a tiny village in Alaska, 17-year-old Woody is so desperate he shoots the oil pipeline and becomes a most-wanted terrorist. Hunted by seasoned FBI agent Susan Tarheel, he runs by ATV, hitchhiking, and on foot, vanishing into the wild and across the Canadian border to the Inuit community where his mother grew up. As Tarheel gets closer, a strange maternal bond grows between them, and Woody begins, at last, to learn what it means to be alive.
