On a stormy Winter night, two strangers share a small charter flight. Ben Payne is a gifted surgeon facing a painful separation from his wife, Ashley Knox is a young magazine writer on her way home to get married. When their plane crashes in a frigid and remote mountain wilderness, they are plunged into a life-and-death ordeal. As the days turn to weeks on the unforgiving mountain, the two heal slowly from their physical wounds even as they are forced to confront surprising and painful truths about their lives. These intimate conversations and their reliance on each other for survival make for a quick and extraordinary connection. Finally, they hatch a plan to escape the wilderness, but as desperate as they are to be saved, they wonder what will happen when - or if - they return to their previous lives.
