Crab fishermen risk their lives as they battle Arctic weather, brutal waves and a ticking clock for big money in this modern-day gold rush on the Bering Sea.
An Arctic storm slams the fleet already reeling from the closure of King Crab; seeking a new species, Johnathan sets pots deeper than ever before; Sig struggles to launch his Norwegian operation; a deckhand fights for life on the Patricia Lee.
Sig struggles with a Norwegian crewman who thinks he knows more than the captain; with a line snarled in his propeller, Captain Wild Bill fights to save his boat from the rocky Norwegian coastline; Keith's greenhorn faces a violent brush with death.
When Shyanne discovers a serious breach on the Saga, Jake and his crew scramble to save it from capsizing; in Norway, Sig drops pots on Russia's western line; as canneries close their doors, Josh and Casey call in a last-minute favour from Johnathan.
Sig scrambles to get home for Bairdi and Mandy's baby as his crew finds a honey hole of Russian king crab; Josh's brother Shane gets caught in the bight as a typhoon slams the Cornelia Marie; Rip faces a crisis when a greenhorn collapses unconscious.
