Trevor Anderson, a Boston based volcanologist discovers a book containing his brother’s exploration when his nephew Sean comes to stay with him. His brother had gone missing. Together with his nephew, Trevor travels to Iceland. He sees a mountain and decides to explore it along with their mountain guide. There is a storm. They are trapped.
