Dave Turin, a former Gold Rush miner, sets out on his own prospecting for an abandoned gold mine to reopen. But when an investor backs out, Dave has to decide if he's willing to risk his family's life savings on his ability to bring home the gold.

Dozer Dave bets his life savings that he can unearth piles of gold from an abandoned mine using salvaged equipment and a team of amateur miners.

Dave faces a nightmare scenario when the ground he's mining goes cold and no one knows why; with his season hanging in the balance, the pressure mounts for Dave to get them back on the gold.

Dave's entire season comes down to the final 24 hours and a bold risk that threatens to shut down his operation and force him out of the gold game for good.
