br. Stefano Elmi si licenzia, impacchetta la sua bici e parte con un biglietto di sola andata per Calgary con una vaga idea di andare verso nord suggestionato dalle letture di Jack London e altri avventurieri. Da lì muove verso le Montagne Rocciose, lo Yukon, il Klondike e poi procede verso il confine fra Canada e Alaska, percorre la Denali Highway, giungendo ai piedi della grande montagna, poi va verso sud, ad Anchorage e fino alla penisola di Kenai, dove la strada finisce. Scopre che in Alaska può fare anche caldo; incontra pensionati americani coi loro immensi motorhome, nativi completamente sbronzi, pistoleri di confine, orsi e caribù; trangugia hamburger pessimi e birre giganti, ma gli capita anche di soffrire la fame e la sete lungo i 5000 chilometri di una strada che sembra non finire mai.
