At The Summit Suomi competition, competitors are experiencing difficulties during their trek which consists of 128 kilometers and a prize pool of 140,000 euros. The first episode introduces a familiar pursuer, Roy, who has 36 hours to catch up to the others. As the team progresses towards their first checkpoint, they remain unaware of an impending powerful storm approaching the western coast of Norway.

The competitors are relieved to reach their destination after a rainy day, where they can take care of themselves and their gear, eat well, and warm up by the campfire. However, the situation takes a dark turn as the storm front intensifies, leading to heavy rainfall and flooding in the mountainous regions. The rapid flow of water through the valleys poses a serious threat to the competitors and their camp.

As the storm arrives, the competitors begin to panic, emphasizing the urgent need for safety and decision-making in the face of unpredictable weather. This incident not only highlights the challenges of extreme outdoor competitions but also raises concerns about the safety measures in place for participants in demanding conditions like these, especially when faced with potential natural disasters.
