Alaskan artist Loren's life explodes into a fight for survival after she and her Aleut realtor friend, Belle, helicopter to a remote lodge for sale on the Alaska Peninsula. A bomb, detonated by drug runners, blows them into a fjord where Loren and Belle, injured and alone, must rely on wilderness skills to escape the ocean, claw through forests, climb mountains, evade Kodiak brown bears, and fend off wolves as they battle to stay alive. Desperate to get home, the pair take refuge in a cave, only to discover it's an active missile site traded to Russia by someone in the US government. The final battle takes place in the legendary Shelikof Strait.
