Family members are dropped off miles apart and must navigate the unforgiving terrain of Northern Vancouver Island to find each other; to win the $500,000 prize, the competitors must build their own shelters and forage for their own food.

Ten new survivalists have a chance to win $500,000 by enduring the coldest location the series has visited: the Arctic; participants grapple with a harsh storm out of the gate.

As their teammates attempt to set up camp, the hikers find that Vancouver Island's terrain is even more punishing when on the move; the island beats one pair into submission, while another grapples with a devastating accident.

Desperation sinks in as the hikers struggle to make the final push to their teammates; exhaustion leads one participant straight into the path of a predator, and into a dangerous confrontation.

After nearly a month on Vancouver Island, the three remaining teams face existential threats at every turn; one participant is forced to fight a raging fire; rising tensions threaten to end a partnership.

The three remaining teams scramble for a long-term advantage; team members run themselves ragged with an elaborate shelter build; a team hazards the freezing waters of the Pacific on their own small craft.
