Brian Robeson boards a bush plane to visit his father in Canada while lamenting over his parents' divorce as well as "The Secret". When the pilot dies of a heart attack in mid-air, Brian is forced to crash-land the plane into a lake in the middle of a Canadian forest. Now, with no access to civilization, Brian needs to survive the trials that await him, from animal attacks to hunger, all while using his trusty hatchet given to him by his mother.
