Nome, Alaska 1925. Nella piccola cittadina sperduta in capo al mondo, in quell'anno scoppia un'epidemia di difterite che provoca la morte di numerosi bambini. Gli abitanti di Nome proposero di partire con cani da slitta fino a Nenana per portare il medicinale il prima possibile. Tra le persone che vennero scelte per l'impresa, ci furono anche Leonhard Seppala e il suo cane leader Togo e Gunnar Kaasen e i suoi cani leader Balto e Fox.
