Teenage climber Ryan Hart is still in Nepal, working at a refugee centre and holding on to his dream to summit Mount Everest. His Tibetan girlfriend Tashi shares his passion, but a climbing accident puts their plans on hold. Later, the courageous young Sherpa Kami comes back into Ryan's life. Groundbreaking stem cell treatment in the United States has cured his paralysis, and Kami can walk again. What better way to celebrate than with a trek to Everest Base Camp? The friends set out, but the government of Nepal is no longer in control. Climate change has caused the monsoon to fail, plunging the country into famine. Warlords march in and a terrorist attack sees Kami and the others held hostage at Base Camp. Kami comes up with a desperate plan. The friends escape to Everest, climbing ever higher as the terror leader sets out in pursuit.
