A massive snowstorm slams the Sierra Nevada Mountains in Northern California. Ski patroller Jack Flynn starts his day knowing it will be filled with problems and trouble. In the heavy snow and high winds, Mountain Lake Resort is plagued by accidents. Late in the afternoon, in howling winds and sub-zero temperatures, two ten-year-old twins become disoriented during the raging storm.As the resort closes, a resort skier, a retired Iranian army colonel, volunteers to help a veteran ski patroller search for the twins. The patroller’s radio battery is 'dead.' The storm intensifies, and visibility drops to almost zero. Facing possible injury and death, the rescuers ski into the unknown, looking for the twins lost in a 'closed' wilderness area.As day turns to night, with Jack in the lead, a significant rescue effort is mounted to find the twins. Two resort customers, US Navy SEALs, join the ski patrollers in a two-day rescue effort in freezing temperatures, blowing snow, and turbulent winds as they ski down into the unknown.While the raging storm engulfs the Lake Tahoe basin, parents, friends, and fellow patrollers hope for the best but fear the worst.
