It follows an Arctic Fox named Swifty (Creator/JeremyRenner) who dreams of becoming a delivery dog for the Arctic Blast Delivery Service but no one will even give him a shot. That is, until the sled dogs [[BlatantLies quit]] and his boss, the intimidating caribou Magda (Creator/AnjelicaHuston), is forced to give him the job. But what Swifty stumbles upon on his route is far beyond anything he's prepared for.
