Forty thousand years in the past, the last family of Neanderthals roams the earth. After a crushingly hard winter, their numbers are low, but Girl, the oldest daughter, is just coming of age, and her family is determined to travel to the annual meeting place and find her a mate. But the unforgiving landscape takes its toll, and Girl is left alone to care for Runt, a foundling of unknown origin. As Girl and Runt face the coming winter storms, Girl realizes she has one final chance to save her people, even if it means sacrificing part of herself.

While camping with her family on a remote island, five-year-old Anna awakes in the night to the sound of her mother screaming. A rogue black bear, three hundred pounds of fury, is attacking the family's campsite -- and pouncing on her parents as prey. At her dying mother's faint urging, Anna manages to get her brother into the family's canoe and paddle away. But when the canoe runs aground on the edge of the woods, the sister and brother must battle hunger, the elements, and a wilderness alive with danger.

Nel più freddo inverno dell'età preistorica, una famiglia della specie Neanderthal, costretta a migrare per sopravvivere, smarrisce la giovane figlia. Rimasta da sola tra le difficoltà di una terra inospitale, la ragazza incontra un giovane maschio di un'altra specie e sente che lui è la sola via per salvare la propria gente dall'estinzione. 40.000 anni dopo, l'archeologa Rosamund Gale è alle prese con il suo ultimo lavoro di scavo prima della maternità.

Anna è una bambina di cinque anni. Con i genitori e il fratellino, Stick, di poco più piccolo, sta facendo una bella vacanza sull'isola di Bates, un paradiso naturale al centro del meraviglioso lago canadese di Opeongo. La radura dove si fermano per la notte è un incanto. Anna stringe a sé Stick e dice buonanotte al papà e alla mamma, che si ritirano nella loro tenda. La notte è tiepida, trasparente, e i suoni che provengono dal bosco accompagnano fin dentro i sogni più dolci.
