Big Fix Alaska

Synopsis

In the wild, remote corners of the World, there are fortunes to be made. From snow crab fishing in the Bering Sea, to bush piloting in the frozen Tundra, if you've got the guts AND the gear, you can bank gold. But these rewards come with great risks, and each of these jobs relies solely on the machinery they're working with. So when a piece of equipment breaks up there, s#%t hits the fan. There's no mechanic on call, no local hardware store, and no hotline for help. When the machines ain't running, the money's not flowing, and every second wasted is cash burnt. In these moments, there's only one group of guys to turn to: THE MASTER MECHANICS.
