A young man seeks fulfilment in the majesty of the great outdoors. But one day, all alone in the Rockies, Ryan Montoya gets into serious trouble. Near the summit of a formidable peak, one wrong move sees him slip and tumble down the mountain. From this dizzying height, how long will it be before he grinds to a halt? And how can he possibly survive such a punishing fall?
