To unplug from the modern world, Brett Hines moves his family from the suburbs to the untamed wilderness of central Washington. Setting up their new home in a race against winter, they come face to face with their first off-grid hurdle: predators.

To create a sustainable food system, the Hines start building a greenhouse and Brett sends Drew and Sarah to retrieve a massive trailer that will become a root cellar. But the trip up the mountain proves harrowing.

The threat of fire season pushes Michael to lead construction on the root cellar while Nathan and Joshua craft a water truck, and Ariel makes a tasty treat to beat the heat.

Brett and Danny have a surprising encounter in the woods; missing their creature comforts from the suburbs, Ariel and Nathan build an off-grid pizza oven, and Drew and Sarah design a bicycle-powered washing machine.

Drastic seasonal changes force the Hines to focus on heating the barn, so Nathan engineers a wind turbine, but it will take brute force and incredible teamwork to erect the monstrosity and provide much-needed power.

Never-before-seen footage and insights reveal how the Hines struggled during their first winter as they built their new homestead in the highlands of Washington, far from the comforts of the suburbs.
