Will Slade shows up late for his tow and then finds out his wife has left him.

Documentary following tow truck drivers in California. A powerful storm slams Donner Summit, which is a gold mine for the tow dogs.

Gach geamhradh, air Prìomh-rathad a h-Ochdad ann an California, faisg air Bealach Donner agus baile Truckee, tha sgiobaidhean de thobhadairean a' cur am beatha ann an cunnart gus draibhearan ann an èiginn a shàbhaladh. Seo fear dhe na rathaidean as cunnartaiche ann an Aimearaga, agus tha am program seo a' leantainn dhraibhearan a dh'fhaodas faighinn suas ri còig-deug calla san latha. Bidh aca ri a dhol a-mach ann an cabhadh agus ann an stoirmean reòithte.

Tha stoirm uabhasach air Mullach Donner a bhualach, agus tha seo a' ciallachadh deagh chothroman cosnaidh airson nan tobhadairean. Tha e mì-laghail a bhith air an rathad às aonais shèinichean, oir tha an rathad mar rince-deighe. Thèab carbad air an do chaill an draibhear smachd bualadh ann am Brandon; agus ri linn 's cho truagh 's a tha an companaidh air a bhith a' coimhead an dèidh uidheam Will Slade, tha e anmoch airson calla, agus an dèidh a h-uile càil a tha seo, tha e a' faighinn a-mach gu bheil a bhean air fhàgail.

Every treacherous winter on California's US Interstate 80, near Donner Pass and the small town of Truckee, teams of tow truck drivers risk their lives rescuing stranded motorists on one of the most dangerous roads in America. It is all about high risk and high reward, with each driver responding to as many as fifteen calls a day, sending them out in blinding blizzards and ice storms in the dead of night.

A powerful storm slams Donner Summit, which is a gold mine for the tow dogs. It's illegal to be on the road without chains. The road's pure ice -- Brandon nearly gets hit by a spinoff, Becky Norman poaches a tow and then gets into a brutal argument with her boyfriend, and due to poor equipment maintenance Will Slade of Running Bear shows up late for his tow and then finds out his wife has left him.
