Their journey is initially a scientific endeavor aimed at proving that Greenland is a single landmass, but what begins as an exploration soon turns into a desperate fight for survival. 
When a failed rescue mission leaves them stranded in the icy wilderness, Mikkelsen and Iversen must rely on their resourcefulness, grit, and trust in each other to survive the extreme cold, scarce resources, and isolation. The film is both a tribute to the incredible resilience of the human spirit and a stark reminder of the harshness of nature.
