This
made-for-TV drama, based on a historical novel by James Oliver Curwood,
concerns Nepeese (Neve Campbell), a young woman whose mother was an Canadian
Indian and father was a white American. Caught between two cultures but fully
embraced by neither, Nepeese finds strength and companionship when she
befriends Baree, a half-wolf, half-dog. Both Nepeese and Baree find themselves
in jeopardy when they encounter Taggart (Lorne Brass), a ruthless trapper who
makes no secret of his desire for Baree's pelt and Nepeese's body. However,
they both find a champion in Paul (Jeff Fahey), a naturalist who protects Baree
from hunters and wins the beautiful Nepeese's heart. ~ Mark Deming
