Growing to over 12 feet long and 1300 pounds, the prehistoric white sturgeon is a true freshwater giant, but because of human activity, its populations are now in decline. Cyril and his crew embark on a dangerous, action-packed mission to help scientists protect them. But to find this massive animal, the team must search the raging mountain rivers and dive beneath their frigid waters, all while avoiding bears, rock slides, freezing temperatures and deadly currents.

An exhausting battle with a colossal white sturgeon pushes Cyril to the limit, but before the team can tag the eight-foot giant, it gives them a giant-sized shock. A freak wind storm then forces the team to put their white sturgeon quest on hold and head far north into the mountains to help protect the sturgeon's main food source: the pacific salmon. In order to find these migrating warrior fish, that can weigh up to 100 pounds, the guys will have to leave civilization behind and survive in one of the most hostile, rugged mountain environments in the world. Out here, hostile terrain, black bears and grizzly bears lurk around every corner.

These elusive giants are under threat from human activity, and the team must find them in order to collect non-intrusive DNA samples for scientists desperate to conserve them, but the jungle won't make it easy.
