Ten new participants compete to win $500,000 in the show's most remote location yet, northern Saskatchewan; as the survivalists set out into the wilderness searching for food and shelter, one participant makes a costly mistake.

As the survivalists struggle to find their footing, signs of winter's onslaught motivates them to put their plans into action; some claim their first victories, while one participant grapples an unexpected issue.

As the participants get past the shock of being dropped in the wild, the ability to think outside the box proves fruitful to some but a detriment to others; some grapple with the choice between building a permanent shelter and securing food early.

As the participants finally get into a rhythm, loneliness begins to settle in for the survivalists; one seemingly small choice proves to be a disastrous mistake for one participant, while another has an encounter with a vicious predator.

A sudden shift in weather tests the strength of the survivalist's shelters, as well as their resolve; unable to exit their shelters, one survivalist carves out creative ways to pass the time while another struggles to cope.

The three remaining survivalists brace themselves for the fight to the finish; one participant finds it impossible to stay warm, while others risk it all on the ice; only one can claim the $500,000 prize.
