When millionaire Charles Morse (Anthony Hopkins) joins his supermodel wife Mickey (Elle MacPherson) for a photo-shoot in Alaska, he does not expect to be plunged into a dangerous battle for survival. Charles accompanies fashion photographer Robert Green (Alec Baldwin) when he flies out to an uncharted lake, scouting for a suitable location. The plane crashes, and Charles finds himself fighting for his life when it transpires that Robert wants him dead in order to have Mickey for himself. Matters are complicated by the fact that both men have to avoid a man-eating bear which is on the loose in the snowy wastes.
