An orphaned boy raised by animals in the jungle seizes his destiny while confronting a dangerous enemy -- and his own human origins.

The story traces the upbringing of Mowgli, a human child raised by a pack of wolves in the jungles of India.

As he absorbs the often harsh rules of the jungle, guided by a bear named Baloo and a black panther named Bagheera, Mowgli gains acceptance among the jungle's animal inhabitants, with one notable exception: the formidable tiger, Shere Khan. However, within the jungle's depths, greater perils may be lurking, as Mowgli confronts his own human heritage.
