In 1969, geology student René Thompson pursues an independent study program that will set him on a path to climbing the world's highest peaks. Having lost his father to the war in Vietnam, and estranged from his mother, René visits his grandfather and borrows the money needed to join an expedition to summit Mount McKinley in Alaska (North America's highest peak).Before his journey, his grandfather gives him an heirloom that has been in the family for generations: an amulet that provides glimpses of possible future events.On the expedition, deadly storms, avalanches, crevasses, and team conflict threaten the climbers. But René cannot solely rely on the blurred visions provided by the amulet if he's to survive, he must also look within.
