As five new survivalists begin their first days in the Mackenzie River Delta they are met with an abundance of challenges in the uncharted Arctic terrain.

Between the fast-approaching Arctic Winter and hunger setting in, the participants double down on their efforts for survival. Procuring food becomes an urgent necessity after survivalists go days without nourishment.

As the survivalists enter the second week of the competition, new challenges and opportunities arise while they battle to maintain focus.

Participants are forced to use their wits when left in the wilderness with nothing but a backpack. They struggle with harsh weather, hostile locations, and aggressive wildlife.

The most remote location, ten new survivalists must survive north of the Arctic Circle as they face the cold and dwindling sun for a chance to win $500,000.

With the competition in its final stage, only one survivalist's resolve can secure them the $500,000 prize.
