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 agus a thobhadh.

Every treacherous winter on California's US Interstate 80, near Donner Pass and the small town of Truckee, teams of hardcore 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.

As the season winds down, all hell breaks loose on Donner Pass. Sam nearly gets run over by a big rig. Justin stares down death to tow a moving van off Dead Man's Curve. One driver quits and another leaves the mountain for good.
