With insight| frankness| and compassion| Michael D’Orso climbs into the lives of these fourteen boys| their families| and their coach| shadowing them through an Arctic winter of fifty-below-zero temperatures and near-round-the-clock darkness as the Eagles criss-cross Alaska in pursuit of their–and their village’s–dream.
