When Will Stoneman's father dies, he is left alone to take care of his mother and their land. Needing money to maintain it, he decides to join a cross country dogsled race. This race will require days of racing for long hours, through harsh weather and terrain. This young man will need a lot of courage and a strong will to complete this race.

David Bedford, owner of Black Ice Dog Sledding Equipment and real-life dog sledder, did the mushing for "Borg" throughout the movie. He used his own 7-dog team lead by "Chase", a malamute. Filming his scenes took 3 months. David's wife Shilon helped to establish the Minnesota Malamute Club

Ward:
Will, that was incredible!


Becky:
Incredibly foolish! You could have been killed Will Stoneman.


Will Stoneman:
Well how many times is there an army truck in the middle of the street? I've been coming around this corner my whole life and has there ever been an army truck in the middle of the street?


Soldier:
Nice piece of runnin' there. So, how old are you pal?


Will Stoneman:
Seventeen


Soldier:
Think you'll be ready to fight a war in a year?


Will Stoneman:
I'm ready now, uh, war with who?

[Soldier laughs]


Soldier:
Stay alive buddy, your country might need you.

Continuity: At the train station when Will is leaving, his hair alternately switches between slicked back and hanging down framing his face.
