Forty-one year-old Guillaume Brodeur, a native of Quebec City, is poised to embark on a transformative journey this season. Having spent years serving as Ken Foy's trusted right-hand man, Guillaume is now stepping into a new role as Ken's equal partner. This bold move marks a significant departure from the predictable path of securing a steady paycheque elsewhere, as Guillaume is instead driven by his aspirations for a life-changing windfall.
During the mining season, Guillaume resides in Dawson City with his loving wife, Lisa, and their two young daughters, Alexi and Chloe. As he and Ken venture into the wilderness, their gold mining efforts are scaled back to a duo, but the challenges they face are more pronounced than ever. Unaccustomed to taking financial risks, Guillaume finds himself navigating uncharted territory, grappling with the added responsibility and pressure that comes with his new partnership.
