While bouldering with her friend Jade, Rose, a gym climber from Los Angeles, falls for Bret, an experienced outdoorsman. She talks him into taking her -against his better judgment- on a famous, advanced rock-climbing route called 'Killer Pillar'. Disaster strikes when Bret falls and suffers a serious head injury and torn shoulder. With no way to go but up, Rose has to lead the climb to the summit. When night falls they still have a long way to go and are forced to bivouac on a cliffside ledge. The next day, as a storm approaches, Bret drifts in and out of consciousness.
