Based on true events, renowned mountaineer Uhm Hong Gil set out on a mission to Everest to retrieve his late junior climber’s body and faces the greatest challenge of his life.

Years later, Hong Gil became a renowned lecturer, and Mu Taek took up an assignment to go up Everest. When Hong Gil learns that Mu Taek has gone missing, he blames himself for encouraging the younger man’s plans.
