Karl and Aaron narrate the end of the series with a surprising discovery. Victor Power returns from a long Alaskan expedition in good spirits, only to find his village in political chaos. Mayor John Gannon tried to negotiate with U.S. Steel over the move of the remaining portion of North Hibbing, only for the company to undercut his ideas and leave the village broke.
