A young boy sent on an errand over Hemlock Mountain is not so sure he likes going alone, because there may be bears on the mountain, but with the help of the big iron pot he borrows, he completes his errand.

When the bears learn of the legendary Last Great Wilderness, a fabled bear paradise, they believe that this must be their ultimate destination.

Kallik, Lusa, Toklo, and Ujarak unite and begin their journey to discover what it means to be a bear in the wilderness, and when they gather near a remote lake to learn from their elders, they learn that one of their group is in danger, as not all bears have the best intentions.
