Ben journeys off the coast of New Zealand's North Island to Great Barrier Island, where he meets a man who lives in an off-grid, secluded world. He learns why former academic Ben gave up his promising scientific career to embrace a rugged life in a 76-acre forest, as the duo dig trenches, camp, build a hide and hunt for mighty kingfish.
