Stranded high in the Sierra Nevada Mountains with winter closing in, the Donner Party faces a tough choice: stay and slowly starve, or attempt the impossible. In Part 2 of our Donner Party series, we follow The Forlorn Hope – a desperate group seeking help who sets out on makeshift snowshoes to cross a frostbitten pass, littered with dangers, betrayal, and cannibalism in this cutthroat game where no one can be trusted.

Amidst the Hunger, cold, and constant blizzards, this story wrenches at the humanity that endures past the point of all desperation and darkness.
