Ten survival experts are dropped off in separate and extremely remote locations on Northern Vancouver Island. Equipped with only limited gear, their years of wilderness experience, and cameras to self-document their journeys, the men are completely isolated from one another as they struggle to live in the wild for as long as they can. Attempting to survive unaided in a thick and desolate rainforest presents immediate challenges to everyone. While each character battles to simply enter the dense forest and find a suitable base camp, they must also find water and make a shelter before night falls and temperatures drop. As the sun goes down, a new challenge presents itself: relentless rains and the struggle to build a fire without matches. Even worse, some find that water, shelter and fire are the least of their worries when the island's large predators wake from their dens and begin to stalk their new neighbors.
While predators continue to cause problems for a number of the men, water soon becomes a crucial hurdle for others. From fast rising tides to relentless rains, each of the men must adapt to his new environment or tap out and go home. It's the fear of dehydration that plagues one man as another finds his survival threatened along the shoreline by a rogue wave. But it will be a quest for a clean water source that sends one man on a perilous journey in a rickety boat made of sticks.

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.
As the weather gets colder and even less forgiving, the participants struggle to obtain basic resources. One participant continues to lose weight at a rapid and deadly pace, while another continues to be harassed by ruthless predators. Another contestant wakes one morning to a grave discovery and realizes that the Arctic winter has only just begun.
The final three survivalists continue to battle weight loss, extreme temperatures, and predators to remain in the fight for the $500,000 prize. The punishing cold makes getting food harder than ever before and a devastating catastrophe causes one participant to lose everything. The remaining survivalists push on, but in the end, only one is able to conquer the Arctic and emerge victorious.

As they continue to settle into their new surroundings, the participants aim to procure food in order to stay for the long haul. While one survivalist aims to make up for a past mistake, another risks hypothermia by entering the frigid Labrador waters, and another realizes that they may have bit off more than they can chew.
As the days march on, the participants continue to look for new ways to hunt, but also to preserve their food sources. One survivalist leans heavily on a taxing shelter build, while another pauses their own work for some much needed sustenance. Later, Labrador seems to grant the wishes of many, though one participant's mistake invites disaster.
As the participants close in on the first thirty days, the lack of food and the desire to go home grows ever stronger in Labrador. The competitors continue to make each opportunity for food count, while the need for preservation has one getting creative. As a predator seeks to steal a survivalist's recent catch, they are forced to go on the offensive.
As some participants find success hunting, the prospects of a long stay increase. One survivalist's unexpected discovery becomes a boon in the right hands, while another seeks a creative way to make their food last. Later, a looming threat forces one participant to realize they're time may be running out.
As resilience and strength are put to the ultimate test, the remaining participants look to the past for answers. A survivalist's disastrous fall impedes their ability to hunt, while another finds new ways to secure a kill. Later some participants take a moment to appreciate a milestone, as another suffers pains that seem to only get worse.
The remaining three participants continue to battle Labrador's harsh snowstorms and below-freezing temperatures. As their minds and bodies are pushed to the limit, they struggle more than ever before. One contestant risks it all as they embark on a challenging project, and another loses their ability to hunt for food. With the fight to the finish line intensifying, only one survivalist is able to walk away with the $500,000 prize.
Winter descends upon the survivalists, forcing them to adapt to the drop in temperatures. With the snow comes a rush of emotion and the participants are tested in their resolve to keep working towards the $500,000 prize. One survivalist settles in for the dark days ahead, while another makes a surprising discovery.
