In the unforgiving Alaskan wilderness, a group of oil workers board a plane bound for Anchorage after a grueling shift at a remote drilling site. Among them is John Ottway, a skilled huntsman employed to protect the workers from predatory wolves. Plagued by thoughts of his estranged wife and his own existential malaise, Ottway is silently questioning his place in the world. As the plane pierces through a violent storm, it suffers catastrophic failure and crashes into the icy wasteland, leaving the men scattered and disoriented among the wreckage.

Survivors, including Ottway who has a past haunted by sorrow and loss, quickly realize they're not only facing the brutal elements, but also an unrelenting pack of wolves that views the intrusion into their territory as a threat. Ottway assumes the role of the group's reluctant leader, drawing from his expertise and deeply buried survival instincts. As the survivors contend with injuries, frigid temperatures, and dwindling supplies, they embark on a treacherous journey to find civilization. Along the way, they are forced to confront not only the external dangers that lurk within the grey, unforgiving landscape but also the internal demons that emerge in the face of mortality.
