It's the start of ginseng season in the Appalachian Mountains and every 'senger from West Virginia to Georgia is looking to get rich off the golden root, but it won't come easy. If they aren't running from game wardens or pot farmers, they're haggling for the better prices from local ginseng kingpin Tony Coffman, who's controlled the ginseng market for years... until now. Corby "The General" Patton just rolled into town and he wants a piece of the action.

Ginseng prices are skyrocketing, and outsiders like Greg Shook are flooding into to West Virginia to cash in, but he quickly learns that locals don't take kindly to strangers. Meanwhile veteran sengers Ron and Obie have to pull their knives to keep a ruthless senger from pulling immature roots, and landowner Mike Ross resorts to guerilla tactics to keep poachers away from his honey hole. And as Tony Coffman's new nemesis Corby "The General" Patton continues to poach his clients, Tony finds himself on the verge of failing to fill the first order of his career.

Tony doubles down on the biggest order of his career; Greg Shook gets trapped in one of Mike Ross's booby traps; Corby poaches Ron and Obie to his team; Tony sends Wayne Dancy to buy ginseng off some shady sellers.

Greg and his truck get a reminder from the Simpsons; a deal goes sour for Ron and Obie; Tony's only hope of filling an order comes from an unlikely ally; Mike uses his tomahawk to send a message to poachers.

Chinese buyers place the biggest order of Tony Coffman's career; Tiny Roberson looks to buy up ginseng for his new moonshine recipe; Greg Shook ventures back into local territory; Ron and Obie put aside their differences and join forces.

Greg Shook rappels down a treacherous cliff face; Ron and Obie crawl deep into a cave in order to flee armed pot farmers; Mike Ross makes his final stand to protect his family's land from poachers.
