Mom banishes Zanna to live in the icefields of Alberta with her glaciologist father and twin brother. There Zanna begins a love hate relationship with her new environment and handsome junior park ranger Tyler Benson. Paris, the wolf/dog Zanna finds underneath the cabin, while named for the city where she was supposed to spend her summer, is anything but civilized. He needs to live in the wild. But when her brother disappears, Paris may prove his only chance for rescue.
