Toby McTeague (Yannick Bisson) would rather be training his family's sled dogs than going to school. When his father, Tom (Winston Rekert), is hurt, Toby decides to step up and compete in the dog-sledding championship. To prove to his dad that he can, he takes the dogs out on his own one day, but one of the best dogs comes back injured. After a fight between him and his father, Toby runs away and meets his father's old friend, a shaman (George Clutesi), who strives to reunite father and son.

Finn S Jun 27, 2018 Toby lives in rural Quebec, where his dad breeds sled dogs. His dad needs to win a provincial championship race in order to earn enough money to keep his business running, but he's injured, so Toby has to take his place. You know exactly how this movie will play out because it's really just exercising a formula, Toby is picked on by bullies. Will he have to overcome them in order to win the race? The main bully has a pretty girlfriend who's too nice for him. Will she choose Toby instead? There are hundreds of movies that follow this formula, simply switching out the main interest of the hero ... it's basically "The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift" except it's about dog racing. Personally, I find movies like this to be appealing in a comfort food kind of way. Director Jean-Claude Lord is a Canadian exploitation film mainstay having directed the slasher film "Visiting Hours", the "Terminator" rip-off "The Vindicator" and the "Eddie and the Cruisers" sequel.
