The Isle of Kipling has known war between the animal tribes for generations. But when a pirate ship crashed to the island shore, the arrival of four infant survivors was deemed an omen to signify the end of the war. Divided up between the tribes in a fragile act of peace, the four children grew up separate form one another, not knowing of one another's existence. But years later, a simple run through the jungle for Mowglii and her adopted mother wolf accidently disrupted the peace. And eventually Mowglii's mother wolf was murdered by the ferocious tigher, Shere Kahn. As a result, Mowglii finally achieved vegenance by killing Shere Khan. Although Mowglii's act may have quenched her thirst for revenge, it has rekindled the fires of war. Now, the borders between the animal tribes are shattered, the jungle is unsettled, and war on Kipling Isle looms on the horizon.

Mowgli, Baloo the bear, Bagheera the panther, and the sly tiger Shere Khan return in this swinging sequel to the animated classic, The Jungle Book.

Ever wondered what happened to Mowgli, Baloo, Shere Khan and the others? Mowgli is now living in the man village, but he misses his old friends and wants to see them again. He knows the jungle is dangerous, but he was raised there so surely nothing bad could happen?

Old Mowgli tells the tale of the promise made in his youth to kill Shere Khan the tiger, who gets more dangerous by the day as he is consumed by blood lust. Every summer, the sun burns the savannah and dries up the rivers. But this year, water is especially hard to come by and the animals must endure a dreadful thirst. Thankfully, a marsh forms in the empty riverbed and Hathi the elephant decrees a water truce. With all hunting forbidden, every animal is safe to come and quench their thirst. Even Shere Khan is bound to this truce. But the bloodthirsty tiger is driven only by his vendetta against Mowgli. Not only does he wish the young man's death, but also to bring an end to his illusions...

When Mowgli returns to the jungle to visit his animal friends, he unknowingly leads his new human friends, Shanti and Ranjan, into great danger.
