The main characters include Fred (Nicolas Giraud), his girlfriend Karine, Chloé (Fanny Valette), a nurse haunted by guilt, Guillaume (Raphaël Lenglet), who secretly loves Chloé, and Loïc (Johan Libéreau). As they ascend the perilous trail, tensions rise within the group, and survival becomes increasingly desperate.
