Plot
Teenagers Fred (Nicolas Giraud), his girlfriend Karine and their friends Chloé (Fanny Valette), William and Luke (Johan Libéreau) travel to Croatia to climb and hike. They find the starting point closed off with rocks but experienced climber Fred convinces the others, including Chloé's boyfriend Luke, who wants to be close to her, to cross the track. As their journey progresses, they realize that the trail is more dangerous than they had first thought: the rope bridge collapses after their crossing. Fred climbs with Karine to help their friends but is wounded in a bear trap. Karine uses a rope to bring help their friends to the top, but they can't find Fred.
