Klondike

"Klondike" is the story of lifelong friends Bill Haskell (Madden) and Byron Epstein (Prew), who set out to stake their claim in what would go down in history as the last great gold rush. They know the quest would change their lives forever, but they never could have predicted the unprecedented desperation they would unearth in the unclaimed Yukon Territory. Greedy businessmen, seductive courtesans, and native tribes facing extinction all claw their way into this land and the promise of undiscovered wealth, but a sweeping plague, ravaging conditions, and unpredictable weather will leave the final say in who walks out alive. In the end, the question is no longer if they will find gold but if they will stay alive long enough to enjoy it. This Discovery Channel miniseries is based on the actual events from Charlotte Gray's book "Gold Diggers." (Gary Reber)
