Climber and photographer Peter Garrett (Chris O'Donnell) caused his father Royce to plummet to his death in order to save his sister Annie's and his own life (following Royce's orders). Peter has retired from climbing and is a wildlife photographer, full-time. Annie (Robin Tunney) has become a renowned mountain climber. When his assistant is injured, Peter shows up at base camp as Annie attempts to climb K2 in the Pakistan-administered Kashmir province of Gilgit-Baltistan, the world's second highest mountain, which is very dangerous to climb because of the tough conditions which await at the summit. The expedition is funded by wealthy industrialist Elliot Vaughn (Bill Paxton) who is also going to climb, with the help of his friend Tom McLaren (Nicholas Lea). There is a huge party the night before the climbers begin the trek. Vaughn is introduced to Peter, whom he asks to accompany them on the trip, but Peter instantly refuses.
