In the ultimate test of human endurance, two survivalists – one man
and one woman - are marooned in one of the world’s most hostile
environments with no food, no water…and no clothes. And this
series, for the first time ever, a married couple with limited survival
skills will attempt the 14-day fan challenge. Will their experience
braving the wilderness in the Philippines bring them closer together
or tear them apart? Later, more strangers are paired up to
experience the tyranny of the wild, from South Africa’s savagely
majestic habitats to Mexico’s impenetrable jungle. The stakes are
high as each couple battles the elements, each other, and their own
inner weaknesses to see who will triumph over the terrain or fail
under the force of nature.

Captain Phil Harris was a legend on the Bering Sea who spent decades fishing the icy and treacherous waters off the coast of Dutch Harbor, Alaska. He captained the F/V Cornelia Marie for more than 20 years, and after his tragic death, his son Josh Harris took over the family business, along with business partner Casey McManus. Now, the discovery of mysterious Hawaiian fishing charts scrawled with Captain Phil’s handwriting, notes and statistics, has prompted Josh to take a once-in-a-lifetime quest to Hawaii, to learn about the time his late father spent fishing there decades ago. To gain a deeper understanding of fishing in Hawaii, the duo enlists the help of Jeff Silva, one of the island’s top commercial fisherman, to help them learn the challenging fishery and interpret Phil’s charts. The pair battle the elements - and each other - as they struggle to catch the island’s most lucrative bounty – ahi tuna – and dive deeper into the mysteries of Phil’s time in Hawaii.
