The episode begins with the miners returning to their claims after a long winter hiatus.

The pressure to find gold and make a profit is always high, and the difficulty of the season only adds to the stress. Some of the crew members begin to clash, while others try to keep the peace and focus on the task at hand.

The crews battle the elements and their own personal demons as they work long hours in the hopes of striking it rich.
Throughout the episode, viewers are treated to stunning footage of the Yukon wilderness and the rugged beauty of the mining claims. The crews must contend with wolves, bears, and other wild animals as they work, adding to the already high-stakes nature of the job.
