在这部远离爱斯基摩片中,《远离爱斯基摩》跟随五位有因纽特、伊努皮雅特族和优皮克族血统的年轻男女，一同踏上他们的寻梦之旅，他们赌上一切离开寒冷的阿拉斯加故乡来到阳光普照的圣地牙哥。这个全新系列节目要记录玛莉、法兰克、塔玛拉、奎都维图克（简称”奎”）和努雅拉高潮迭起又感人的旅程。他们踏上高风险的”逃脱”阿拉斯加之行，探索自家村落和小镇外的世界。儘管他们深爱家人并以自身血统为傲，却还是渴。
Escaping Alaska follows a group of young Eskimos (Nuala, Mary, Tamara, Frank, and Q) as they leave their villages for the first time and secretly escape to San Diego, defying the expectations of their families in order to experience life beyond the harsh realities of Alaska. They are a generation torn between their deep-rooted cultural traditions and the modern pop culture of the lower 48 states. This is their story of independence, survival, adventure and forming a new family. Leaving an Inuit community for any earthly reason is difficult, so our cast members are lying about their true intentions, telling their community that they are going on a cultural/religious mission.
