Ice Road Truckers: The Son Rises

Polar Industries is in for a big payday if they can deliver a huge oversized load hundreds of miles north on the winter roads. Polar owner Mark Koyhaykewych recruits Lisa Kelly to help with this unprecedented load, but they still need another trucker to join their convoy. That’s when Mark and Lisa call in Reno Ward, the 23 year-old son of the late Darrell Ward, hoping his father’s tutelage–and DNA–will help them meet this unprecedented challenge. But nature has other ideas as a sudden blizzard adds a new layer of danger across the frozen north. Meanwhile rookie Steph Custance has a heavy load that won’t sit still and veteran Art Burke cusses his way through the entire ordeal.
