Premise

The town of Portlock, Alaska, was established in the 19th century as a cannery, [2] particularly for salmon. However, in the 1940s, Portlock became a ghost town, as a terrifying bigfoot-like creature known as Nantinaq chased all the villagers out. [3] Over the course of the series, a team of four men: Keith Seville, Noah Craig, DJ Brewster, and Kyle McDowell camped out around Portlock[ disputed discuss ] and the Port Chatham area looking for Nantinaq. [4] During the exploration, the team is assisted by Portlock descendants Tommy Evans and Frank “Guy” Berestoff. [5]
