Since the frist Gold Rush in the late 1890s, the Yukon, with its legendary Klondike gold fields, has been a remote land shrouded in mystery. Nowadays, in times of economic instability, the high price of gold makes the search for the precious metal all the more attractive. Individual miners compete obsessively to find the precious metal still believed to lie hidden underground, making them improbable heroes in a new gold rush.
