Alpha tells the story of the unlikely friendship between a boy living in the last Ice Age and his new hunting partner, an undomesticated wolf. While the two don’t start out on the best terms, they eventually establish trust and end up saving each other multiple times. Not only that, but they inspire a lasting partnership between people and animals that helps both species to thrive.
