Premise
The cast members are four self-described "city boys" who are flown to Rovaniemi in the northern Lapland region of Finland,[2] where they rent a car and travel to spend two nights each at four different rental cottages. To understand why Finland has been repeatedly named the happiest country in the world,[3] they must adapt to rural life without modern conveniences like electricity, running water or Wi-Fi,[4] while completing tasks like picking berries, chopping firewood, cooking on an open flame and fetching water from a well.[3]
