Plot Synopsis

DEADMAN'S CURSE is a one-hour docuseries that follows four fearless explorers -- prospector Kru Williams, mountaineer Adam Palmer, Indigenous explorer Taylor Starr, and her father Don Froese -- who band together to solve the legend of Slumach's lost gold mine. While pursuing the treasure's mysterious location, which has eluded prospectors for generations, the team faces extreme weather, unforgiving terrain, and a 100-year-old curse all while chasing cryptic clues. A distinct variety of skills is required to venture through the same land as Slumach, an Indigenous man rumoured to have discovered a lucrative stash of gold in the mountains of British Columbia. Kru's obsession with the Slumach legend led him to Adam, whose help he needs to get through some of the world's most difficult terrain. However, finding the treasure also means solving the mystery. Enter Taylor and her father Don, who both have an intimate knowledge of the land and a very personal connection to the story. As Slumach's great-great niece, Taylor is determined to uncover the truth about the legend, the curse, and the gold. Their search starts with Adam and Kru following a clue that leads them on a dangerous journey many have not come back from. Meanwhile, Taylor aims to separate fact from fiction and searches for the truth about the man behind the legend.
