Three young bears of different species--one black, one polar, and one grizzly--travel on a perilous quest to the Northern Lights, escorting a shape-shifting grizzly cub whose destiny will affect them all.

At the edge of the Endless Ice, the four bears Ujurak, Toklo, Lusa, and Kallik reach Star Island, where a large group of bears is in trouble but believes Lusa is destined to help bring back the favor of the spirits.

As the three bears, Toklo, Lusa, and Kallik, begin their journey home, they encounter new friends and dangerous enemies and must decide which they can trust to help them on their quest.

As the four bears head toward warmer territories, polar bears Kallik and Yakone wonder if they've made a mistake leaving their natural home, while Toklo, desperate to leave the struggles of their journey behind, thinks about leaving the group and starting a new life on his own.
