Unforgivable terrain mixed with big city crime makes challenging work for troopers in Soldotna, a city on the Kenai Peninsula. Trooper Brent Hatch responds to an ATV accident where an intoxicated youth lashes out. After a struggle, the youth ends up inside the walls of Wildwood Pretrial Facility. Then, a trooper investigates a collision between a motorcyclist and a semi truck, while another tracks down an 11-year-old runaway. Several troopers spend hours searching pitch black woods for a suspect who has previously assaulted an officer, and a wildlife trooper hits the waterways of the Kenai River. Alaska has the highest rate of missing persons reports in the country, and troopers are responsible for search and rescue missions. They must take to the skies to find two hunters stranded in the southeastern wilderness, an area with one of the highest concentrations of bear mauling in Alaska.
