Bernie Kreft is a prospector turned gold miner back in the Klondike cause prospecting is in the toilet. Bernie been sitting on a gold claim for a few years and this year he thinks he?ll make more money going straight to the source. Bernie?s goal is to mine out Little Blanche with his two sons and their buddy Kyle. With the right direction and his incredible eye for detail it should be like stealing candy from a baby but Bernie?s got a terrible temper and hates inefficiencies. All season long we?ll ask ourselves - Will Bernie make it as a miner this season? Will his perfectionist bent alienate his sons and their friend Kyle aka the only crew willing to work with him? Does the ground have the gold Bernie thinks it does? ??(photo credit: Paperny Entertainment)
