A stark, solitary survival drama that pits a stranded man against the Arctic's indifference, exploring the psychological and physical toll of isolation and the will to endure.

A man stranded in the Arctic is finally about to receive his long awaited rescue. However, after a tragic accident, his opportunity is lost and he must then decide whether to remain in the relative safety of his camp or embark on a deadly trek through the unknown for potential salvation.
