Chris O'Donnell is Peter Garrett, who hears a distress call from his sister after her expedition is trapped near the summit of K2, the world's second-highest mountain. Injured and stranded in an icy cavern, Annie (Robin Tunney) can only wait while Peter assembles a rescue team and heads into thinning air, unstable ice, and a narrowing window to reach her. The film keeps its focus on the climb itself: ropes, ridgelines, avalanches, and the constant sense that one bad step on the mountain can end the mission.
