A wealthy, intellectual businessman and his much younger, supermodel wife travel to a remote Alaskan lodge for a photo shoot, joined by a professional photographer. The businessman, an avid reader with a thirst for knowledge, quickly becomes suspicious of the photographer's intentions toward his wife. During a side trip on a small plane to scout for new photo locations, the entourage crashes in the wilderness, leaving the survivors stranded in the wild with minimal supplies. Facing harsh elements and the constant threat of predators, the businessman’s resourcefulness and survival skills are put to the test.

As the days wear on, tensions rise between the two men, exacerbated by the photographer’s growing desperation and resentment. Struggling against not only nature but also their own inner demons, they must navigate treacherous terrain and avoid being hunted by a cunning bear. Cooperation becomes essential for their survival, yet trust is in short supply. This intense battle against the wilderness challenges their intelligence, strength, and moral compass, shaping their characters in unexpected ways.
