It's just over a month into the new ice road season and more than 800 truckers are on the ice, working around the clock. There are still 4,000 loads that need to make it to the mines, but with spring just around the corner, every load could be their last. Alex sets out on a daring new adventure, one that will take him across a brand new, 138-mile, ice road to the Colomac Gold mine. The main ice road is a major highway compared to this small, isolated back road. Hugh races to pick up his 17th load, but first he needs an oil and tire change. Drew runs out of gas on the side of the road in Yellowknife and his truck freezes up. This is just the latest in a long string of mechanical failures. His patience for life on the ice road is wearing thin so he calls his wife back home for a pep talk. Rookie TJ also suffers a debilitating blow. While driving, he's overcome with abdominal pain from an earlier injury strapping down a load.
