Plot Synopsis

Seventy years ago, a murderous Bigfoot-like creature sent residents fleeing from Portlock, Alaska. Now, an expedition returns to the abandoned fishing village to reclaim the land and its resources from the terrifying beast locals call Nantinaq. The team's 40-day sojourn in the icy Alaskan wilderness tests their mettle, their faith and their ability to survive. After bidding their loved one farewell and receiving a blessing from a priest, the team arrives in Portlock by boat. The men immediately feel a sense of foreboding, and Kyle, a Bigfoot skeptic, feels like he's being watched by something he can't explain. The first few days leave the team members distinctly unsettled as they discover evidence of Nantinaq's hunting habits. Keith and Ash visit an historian, who fills them in on the town's bloody past, while the creatures leave a stern warning. On Tuesday, December 7, 2021, discovery+ released the first two episodes of ALASKAN KILLER BIGFOOT, with a new episode debuting each Tuesday through January 18, 2022.
