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.

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.

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.

On Vancouver Island, a seriously injured participant weighs the risks of seeking medical help and sacrificing his shot at $500,000; danger awaits all participants as predators continue to stalk the island's newest inhabitants.

As Vancouver Island is pummeled by torrential rains, the remaining teams scramble to avoid freezing flood waters; one team attempts a massive construction project, while another must choose between betraying a family member and tapping out.

Now that most teams are reunited, they dive into the difficult task of surviving together and feeding two people; meanwhile, the final hiker faces a brutal mountain climb that could dash his hopes of ever making it to camp.
