In a brutal final blow, the final trekkers who make it to the top with their dreams of sharing almost half a million dollars are cut short, as the trekkers they cut from the mountain return to decide how the money is shared.

In a thrilling game of survival, 14 Australians from all walks of life fight to haul one million dollars to the top of the mountain. With the cash stuffed in their backpacks, obstacles and gameplay will dictate who reaches the summit.

In the quest to reach the summit in 15 days, the 13 remaining hikers are already struggling. A medical emergency shocks everyone, a terrifying rope crossing blocks their path and it all leads to a checkpoint where someone will be voted out.
