A young cub is snatched from his family and home by a giant eagle, then dropped, injured and alone, in a suburban garden.

But it is his destiny to save alpine dingoes from extinction, and he dreams of a time when all cubs like him can live in the wild in safety, instead of facing poison and bullets and hatred.
