In the series second installment, it is 1867, and Jack Calsin, Field Director for the United States Interior Department, is rescued from his ill-fated journey to survey the Alaskan wilderness. His commission was to provide verification to President Andrew Johnson and Secretary of State, William Seward of valuable mineral resources, thus justifying the purchase of the territory from the Russian Emperor.

His return to the United States is both a surprise and an unwelcomed complication to the government power brokers. As the lone survivor, he is hunted down, imprisoned and exiled to an Alaskan mining camp with a group of dissidents, with one goal; retrieve the wealth originally sought after or face execution for treason. The expedition soon realizes, with the help of a beautiful native woman to guide their way, a terror follows them and proves to be no match from Jack's first battles. The nightmare that unfolds, brings a new enemy to torment those in their chase for greed.
