An expedition of five men on four watercraft makes an ambitious attempt to travel from Seattle Washington, through the Canadian inside passage, the Alaskan inside passage, into the Bering Sea, and across the Bering Strait to Russia.

After spending the night in a Canadian ghost town the team pushes north and arrives in Alaskan waters. Forced to overnight on a deserted beach the men experience incredible wildlife then retrofit their watercraft in Petersburg Alaska.

The expedition gets caught in a small craft advisory just below Haines Alaska with members of the team getting thrown into the frigid waters.? Patrick?s watercraft is replaced and the men find themselves sinking in the Gulf of Alaska.

Traveling through Southeast Alaska the team experiences glaciers up close while testing all of their new gear on the Stikine River. Expedition Leader Steven Moll suffers a catastrophic breakdown and the team may have to leave their leader behind.

The expedition encounters brown bears on Afognak Island; The men cross the Shelikoff Straits, notorious for sinking ships; Steven calls for help when the men are stranded without fuel.

A pilot from Kodiak risks the dangerous flight to refuel the expedition and the men are forced to camp among the prime habitat of enormous Brown Bears. Dangers are amplified when the crew finds a shipwreck and the men question Steven?s leadership.
