Ten new participants last 100 days in the Arctic to win $1 million, and they must overcome the first hurdle, which includes facing a variety of predators.

In order to endure the Arctic for 100 days, the participants start building shelters that can make it for the long haul; they turn their attention to procuring food, inadvertently drawing the attention of dangerous predators.

The adventure begins as ten new participants are abandoned in the remote wilderness of Patagonia to live as long as they possibly can. Faced with the unforgiving terrain of a foreign land and the onset of winter, each must act quickly to adapt to their new environment in order to survive.

A lack of food forces the remaining participants to get creative. One survivalist devises an ingenious method for getting protein while another battles Patagonia's wiliest predator.

As the participants reach a month in the wild, winter weather raises the stakes for each one; an unwavering grizzly causes one competitor to prepare for battle, and another's desperate attempt for food suddenly turns life-threatening.

The remaining participants, short on food, risk death in their attempt to triumph. Only one survivalist will be able to endure the wilds of Patagonia and take home the $500,000 prize.
