When Kane gets lost on a trek in the wilderness, he seeks shelter in a small cave when a blizzard blankets the area. The snow storm keeps him trapped for days, with nothing to eat but pine nuts, and a fire to keep him warm. Eventually the storm releases its grip on him and lets him out. He then embarks on the long journey to find his way back, surviving a wolf attack, fighting constant hunger and the freezing cold. Blizzard is the story of one man's survival against all odds.
