1892, New Mexico. A wolfpack roams the Currumpaw River Valley, preying on the vast cattle and the sheep herds of the area. Their leader, Lobo, possesses such cunning that local ranchers are unable to trap the pack. Due to his knowledge of wolf behaviour, Ernest Thompson Seton, a naturalist, is employed by ranchers to rid them of Lobo's pack...

The Wolves of Currumpaw is a modern re-telling of Ernest Thompson Seton’s epic wilderness drama ‘Lobo, The King of Currumpaw’, 1898. Set in the dying days of the old west, Seton’s drama unfolds in the vast planes of New Mexico, at a time when man’s relationship with nature was very much exploited and misunderstood.
