When daylight fails, survival in Montana becomes a race against temperature
In short: This documentary captures the high-stakes reality of wilderness life in Montana. From improvising emergency shelters in freezing forests to tracking apex predators with bloodhounds, it explores the thin line between preparation and peril.
The film follows Trapper Scott Olsen and his companion Theo as they navigate a grueling eight-hour trek through frozen wilderness to retrieve marten traps. Faced with rapidly fading light and plummeting temperatures, they are forced to construct an emergency bivouac in the wild.
Parallel narratives highlight different facets of Montana's environment: Casey utilizes bloodhounds Cash and Kali for the high-risk pursuit of a mountain lion, while Scott Clark prepares for a $15,000 ice fishing competition on a frozen Yellowstone lake.
