Gold Rush

Six recession-hit patriots from Oregon stake everything on mining and head north to Alaska to dig for gold and save themselves from financial ruin. The team of greenhorns beg, borrow and build all the equipment they need to mine for gold. Loaded with supplies, they leave their loved ones behind and drive from Oregon to southeast Alaska in a Klondike convoy.

The stakes get higher at the Porcupine Creek as the miners start to rebuild the mining ghost town. However, the bears are not so keen on their new neighbours.

When the families arrive from Oregon, they question the lack of gold. Meanwhile, disaster strikes when master mechanic Harness becomes dangerously ill.

A surprise visit from the Department of Fish and Game jeopardizes the vital water supply to the mine. Then disaster strikes as Todd's daughter fights for her life.

The miners continue to run dirt but an equipment malfunction brings the operation to a halt. Meanwhile, James collapses and Jimmy drives a wedge between himself and the crew when he takes on an extra job to earn cash.

After 80 days, the miners are behind schedule and have run out of money. They need to find $10,000 worth of gold in just two days or the families will be sent home.
