The recent glacier expedition leaves Kru rattled and rethinking his approach; clues left by an Indigenous voice from the past send the entire team north into the wild terrain of the Upper Pitt in search of Slumach's gold.

Reports of a jar of gold send Adam and Kru on the trail of missing prospector Volcanic Brown and his last known location; Don and Taylor investigate a strange marking on the prospector tools found in the Upper Pitt.

Clues revealed in Katzie First Nation history lead the team north; Kru unearths 100-year-old court documents that shed light on Slumach himself.

Kru finds a tape-recorded interview of a man who claims to have found Slumach's mother lode; out on the trail, Adam's old rival appears to be a step ahead in his search for the gold.
