Varghunden är en av Jack Londons mest älskade klassiker. I norra Kanadas råa vildmarker kämpar valpen Vittand för att överleva i den bitande kylan. Som korsning mellan hund och varg dras han mellan två inre begär – vargens lockelse till friheten i naturen, och hundens inneboende längtan efter närhet och gemenskap. När Vittand blir bortförd av människor kastas han rakt in i en mardröm. Men bland svårigheterna han tvingas gå igenom, upplever Vittand också glimtar av mänsklig värme. Dessa ögonblick får honom att drömma om ett annat liv, ett liv där han kan leva i harmoni med människorna och deras gåtfulla värld.
