1996. gada 10. maija rītā divas alpīnistu komandas uzsāk pēdējo posmu ceļā uz Everestu, kas ir pasaules augstākā virsotne. Piepeši kalnu grēdu pārņem negaiss, un piedzīvojumu meklētājiem ceļu aizšķērso cilvēces vēsturē spēcīgākā sniega vētra. Šajos skarbajos apstākļos komandām ir jāiztur stindzinoši brāzmains vējš un mežonīgs aukstums, lai izdzīvotu gandrīz neiespējamā situācijā.
Geibs ir bezbailīgs un talantīgs klinšu kāpējs – viņš ir glābšanas komandas zvaigzne līdz vienubrīd kāda glābšanas operācija izrādās traģiski neveiksmīga. Viņa draugs, profesionāls klinšu kāpējs izmežģī kāju un tiek iesprostots kalna virsotnē kopā ar draudzeni, kurai trūkst pieredzes šajā bīstamajā un sarežģītajā sporta veidā. Nelaime notiek, kad sievieti pieviļ ekipējums – Geibs vēl mēģina viņu glābt, taču viņa burtiski izslīd no viņa rokām. Nolēmis pamest klinšu kāpšanu pavisam, viņš gatavojas sākt jaunu dzīvi. Tomēr viņam jāpiedalās vēl pēdējā glābšanas operācijā – kalnos iesprostoti cilvēki, kurus pārsteiguši nelabvēlīgi laika apstākļi. Geibs vēl nenojauš, ka tie nav vis parasti alpīnisti, bet gan bīstami noziedznieki.
