They expect a weekend of nostalgia, but they find the resort abandoned and their phones missing. The group remains haunted by the cutthroat rivalry of their professional training days, specifically the events leading up to the world championships where Saskia vanished. As someone begins playing psychological games to force a confession, secrets regarding sabotage and past romantic betrayals surface within the freezing, isolated glacier setting.
