12 untrained competitors attempt to survive grueling conditions, dangerous terrain, and the threat of fearsome predators in the unforgiving Canadian wilderness.

Miles away, their family members are locked down at a secluded headquarters watching them navigate their surroundings alone via a 24/7 live feed. The fate of each untrained contestant in the wilderness lies in the hands of their family members back in HQ.

Each amateur survivalist's family has the power to decide whether their loved one has what it takes to brave the elements and fight to be the last one standing, or whether the family will push the "Extract" button and remove their loved one from the competition, taking away their shot at the $250,000 prize.
