Steph and her three teenage friends become lost in the wilderness after the death of their guide, Jonah. To make matters worse, Jonah is Steph’s older brother – and she refuses to leave his body behind. What ensues is a harrowing story of survival, as four young girls must brave the elements, learning to overcome their differences and personal obstacles in order to make it out of a rugged and unforgiving wilderness alive. But will they survive? Will they manage to find their way back? Will they be torn apart by blame, guilt, and the tensions that arise as they confront challenge after challenge? Or will Steph learn that her own survival depends on whether or not she can let Jonah go?
