Chyna, Olive, Fletcher, and Angus want to go to an upcoming concert with older kids, but they know Chyna’s mom will never let them go. In order to convince her, they pretend they’re going to see a kid’s band, which backfires when she decides to tag along. Meanwhile, Cameron tries to get backstage at the concert.

The premiere episode introduces viewers to four of Nome’s gold seekers: The Christine Rose, a huge barge equipped with an excavator arm and run by experienced and successful father and son gold seekers; The Wild Ranger, a converted sailing catamaran beginning its first season run by a rookie captain with an explosive personality and greenhorn deckhands with authority issues; The Clark, operated by two young Alaska natives who have been friends since childhood, one of which has serious hospital bills to pay, and the other a greenhorn diver trying to get to opera school in Vienna; and The Sluicey, a small, barely-seaworthy vessel built and operated by a former social worker whose season is already off to a terrible start. The one thing they all have in common? The real –and sometimes desperate — need to find gold to support their very existence.

After a harrowing mission, Sarah returns to Chuck with a huge secret. Meanwhile, Ellie and Awesome are presented with a new opportunity that could change their lives.
