After Wolverine has been lured to Canada by an alleged message from his old friend, Heather Hudson, he finds himself fighting Heather's husband, Vindicator, and the Canadian super team, Alpha Flight, instead. Alpha Flight believes that they were only sent after Wolverine to get him to rejoin their team. However, their General Chasen has a more sinister agenda: to retrieve Wolverine's adamantium skeleton -- at any cost.
