The stakes are high. The land is rugged and unforgiving and the seas which surround Port Protection are cold and merciless. With risk comes a reward more profound than mere survival: a world of beauty and freedom with the security of community and without the constraints of bureaucracy. In Port Protection there are no clear roads to survival, inhabitants must carve one themselves.

In the Frank Church Wilderness, the only means of transport and accessing supplies are by way of the largest un-dammed river in North America, the Salmon River, commonly referred to as "The River of No Return." The river is so challenging to navigate it was once described by Lewis and Clark as "foaming and roaring through rocks in every direction, so as to render the passage of anything impossible." Under these circumstances, the residents of "The Frank" tackle everyday life in one of America's last frontiers - from twenty-somethings seeking to test their limits, to the living legends of the River who have chosen to spend their lives there.

They say that any true refuge comes at a price...but some people are willing to pay it.
