Ep 1. Winter's Grip (Pilot)

In the small town of McCarthy, Alaska, deep in the heart of the remote wilderness, the locals are preparing for the harsh winter ahead. As the first snowfall of the season descends upon the town, everyone feels the pressure to buckle down and reinforce their homesteads before the snow and ice become too much to handle.

From the town's only mechanic to the owner of the local saloon, each resident of McCarthy has their own unique approach to preparing for the winter months. Some stockpile supplies and fortify their homes, while others take the opportunity to explore the stunning landscape around them before it becomes too treacherous.

Tensions rise as one family, the McCarthys, decides to expand their business with an ambitious plan to build a new cabin in the middle of the wilderness. Their plan involves hiring a team of experts to help navigate the tough terrain and bring in the necessary equipment before the winter really sets in.

Meanwhile, a newcomer named Neil Darish has big plans of his own for the town of McCarthy. Darish, a former Hollywood location scout, is hoping to turn the once-abandoned mining town into a thriving tourist destination. His vision for the future includes upscale lodging, restaurants, and even a ski resort, but he's met with skepticism from some of the traditionalists in the town who fear that his changes will destroy their way of life.

As the first snowstorm of the season intensifies, tensions begin to boil over and the residents of McCarthy are forced to confront the harsh realities of living on the edge of civilization. From the treacherous terrain to the bitter cold, every mistake has potentially deadly consequences and every decision could mean the difference between life and death.
