When the wilderness is not your only enemy, who do you trust?

Television reporter Callie Brown likes big cities and good coffee. But, running from a broken heart, she agrees to join old friends at the strangest of reunions: a trek into New Zealand's most savage and remote mountains.

What she doesn't know is that someone wants them all dead.

Eight people were in the room when a fledgling actress died. Ten years later they are invited on an incredible journey, all expenses paid.

By the time they understand the expedition's true purpose, old secrets are baring their claws, and it is too late to turn back.
