Bear trainer Jeff Watson embarks on a mission to teach his captive, 700-pound grizzly bears, Bob and Screech, how to survive in the deep wild.
Jeff releases his bears, Bob and Screech, into the habitat where he begins his lifelong dream of re-wilding them; the first lesson, fishing, proves more difficult than Jeff imagined.
Jeff teaches the bears to forage in the wild, but Bob's foot continues to be a concern; when the bear slashes Jeff in the arm, he refuses medical care.
Jeff's unconventional hunting lessons fail to prepare Bob and Screech to hunt game in the wild, but he discovers they may be learning on their own.
Bob and Screech learn how to feed themselves, to Jeff's delight; how to den up for the winter; the grizzlies get territorial.
As the bears' re-wilding journey nears its end, Jeff has one lesson left to teach - fear of humans; their release date is imminent but they must be ready to survive on their own.
