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

One participant finds solace in the truth; another continues to be stalked by a wily predator; all of them seem to be teetering over the edge, though one survivalist is overwhelmed by their frustrating performance.

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 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.

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

One participant is forced to take on a massive and risky project; another begins work on a fortified shelter to endure the harsh winter ahead; a pack of wolves interrupts the tranquility of the Arctic night and spells trouble for one survivalist.
