Steph and her three teenage friends become lost in the wilderness after the death of their guide, Jonah. To make matters worse, Jonah is Steph’s older brother and she refuses to leave his body behind. What ensues is a harrowing story of survival as these four young girls brave the elements, learning to overcome their differences and personal obstacles in order to escape alive from of an unforgiving wilderness. Will they survive? Will they be torn apart by blame, guilt and the tensions that arise as they confront challenge after challenge?
