Building Alaska

Lee Raymond, Chuck Gerwig, and Jim Wagner build three cabins in a remote part of the Alaskan frontier.

In Alaska, construction work is underway during the warmer summers.

The clock continues to tick down as the three builders each face their own forms of adversity.

Lee Raymond moves forward at full steam; Jim Wagner begins the long process of starting over; disaster strikes on Chuck Gerwig's site.

Winter's approach leaves the builders scrambling and frays their nerves.

Chuck Gerwig tries to finish his job without his right-hand man; non-stop rain brings Jim Wagner and his crew to a near standstill; Lee Raymond loses his number one crew to college.

As the days get shorter and colder the builders race to get their homes sealed in.

Winter's arrival calls an end to the race; each builder comes to terms with their end games.
