Ten new survivalists have a chance to win $500,000 by enduring the coldest location in the history of Alone: The Arctic. Participants grapple with a harsh storm out of the gate.
As they close in on the one week mark, the survivalists make some risky choices in order to eat. Serious infection becomes a very real possibility, driving one participant to consider pulling out early.
The remaining survivalists start seeing their hard work pay off as they procure food. But as the days mount and the isolation continues, contestants start to notice the physical and mental toll of surviving arctic.
The survivalists get serious about hunting before the wildlife starts to disappear for the winter. One participant finally has a chance to make Alone history by taking down big game, while another is set back by a nasty puncture wound.
As they approach the one month mark, the participants' survival is threatened by new factors. One contestant is forced to defend themselves from a huge predator. Another risks losing their shelter in a horrible accident. And another struggles with the most challenging element of them all: being totally alone.
