This season, Kevin has to move 25 kilometres away to a new claim, but discovers the path to the new location is blocked by late spring snow. With his wife Sarah, his sons Erik and Jack and his right-hand man Coleman, the life-long logger and sawmill operator struggles to overcome one obstacle after another, as the crew face a desperate shortage of the lucrative red ceder. With only 16 weeks to pull in enough logs to pay off a million dollar penalty the government slapped on him for leaving wood piled at his old timber claim, Kevin is also risking bankruptcy if he can’t deliver the timber. Making matters worse, it’s the hottest summer in history and Kevin is racing against the clock and Mother Nature before forest fires shut him down.
