Seven men from 17 to 70 years old.
All city-dwellers with nothing in common apart from the fact that they are all on the verge of a nervous breakdown. They meet up at a lonely station for an unusual course in the wild

Each step in this boot camp, designed by an eccentric and feisty female coach, aims to reveal them to themselves.
The task seems to be a tough one, especially as nothing goes as planned between these men.
