A group of friends from New York City, in the year 1956, while traveling to Yukon, Canada for a 2-week guided trip of fishing, camping and hunting, are on a chartered plane which crashes in the Northwest Territories. The men who live through the plane crash must make their way toward the mountains separating NWT from the Yukon Territory while surviving off the land, facing tragedy and the wild, and uncompromising land and animals they come across. This is a story of extreme survival, and a rescue attempt that is beyond belief.
