Leaving comfortable lives behind, strangers journey to Alaska to chase their dreams of an off-grid community; with only 100 days until winter, it's a race against nature.

The newly-formed group desperately hunts for moose; Oliver refuses to go along with the plan and is an obstacle in the line of fire, Andrew pushes back; Army veteran Adam arrives at base camp and immediately tackles critical building projects.

Andrew and Gerrid return victorious from the moose hunt, uniting the band for the first time; a sudden cold spell leads to a scramble to make winter shelters; Oliver's refusal to follow the group's plan leads to an explosive confrontation.

A disastrous fish haul threatens the colony's food supply; pushing to build a second outpost, Adam sets off down river alone, but his canoe capsizes, and he's put at risk for hypothermia; tensions between Oliver and the group reach a boiling point.

Oliver's refusal to help prep fish is the last straw for Andrew and Jennifer. A sudden temperature plunge cuts Adam and Evan's bear hunt short.

Stranded, freezing and desperate for food, Adam and Evan make a dangerous journey to basecamp. Meanwhile, Oliver tries to survive solo as temperatures plummet.
