A pirate ship carrying four children crashes on the shore of a mysterious and merciless jungle. Each child is taken by a separate tribe of animals as a means to keep the peace between the species.

A place where only the strong will survive.

Just outside Delhi, the capital of India, a man called Mowgli rents a house on the outskirts of the jungle, where he plans to live out the rest of his days. The forest is not nearly as vast as it once was, but the air, the trees and the hills still retain a thousand memories: the cries of birds long departed, the calls of brother wolves that have since died off, the rage of a jealous tiger... For Mowgli, the jungle is the stomping ground of his childhood...

As Mowgli draws ever closer to the end of his days, he continues to tell the tale of his extraordinary life to his young friend. His words conjure up the era when he, as a young man, was the king of the jungle, Shere Kahn's vanquisher and the brother of wolves and panthers. It was a time when he was yet to discover the devastating power of female grace and beauty, and that a city torn apart by British colonization could hold far more danger than anything...

Man-cub Mowgli lives in the jungle with his animal friends who have much to teach him about the ways of the world, so when a rainstorm arrives, he listens to Baloo the bear and Bagheera the panther.
