Plot: John Ottway (Liam Neeson) works in Alaska killing the wolves that threaten an oil drilling team. On his last day on the job, Ottway pens a letter to his wife Ana (Anne Openshaw) and plans to commit suicide. While holding his gun to his mouth, Ottway hears the howl of a wolf, which stops him. Upon completing the job, the team and Ottway head home on a plane that crashes in a blizzard. Ottway then sees a vision of his wife but awakens to find one of the team (Lewenden) mortally wounded. Ottway calms him and Lewenden dies peacefully. Ottway sets the survivors to task collecting material for a fire. He sees a woman in need of help, but finds her being eaten by a gray wolf who also attacks Ottway. He is rescued by the others and explains that they are most likely in the wolves' territory. After starting a fire, the survivors take turns keeping watch. While urinating, Hernandez is killed by a wolf. The remaining survivors find his body in the morning and Ottway suggests they leave the crash site because they are wide open to attack.

Diaz questions Ottway's leadership and begins defying his orders. Before they leave, Ottway and the others remove the wallets from many of the bodies with the intention of returning them to surviving family members. While hiking across the snow, Flannery falls behind and is killed by three wolves. The remaining survivors continue on and make camp in the woods, where tension between Ottway and Diaz comes to a head as the survivors create makeshift weaponry. Diaz threatens Ottway with his knife, but is disarmed by Ottway. The survivors meet the alpha male wolf, who sends an omega male to test Diaz. However, the survivors are able to kill the wolf and eat it. Diaz severs its head and throws it back as a symbol of defiance. The group bonds over personal stories while Burke begins to suffer and hallucinate from hypoxia. A blizzard approaches and Burke eventually falls unconscious and Ottway finds his body, frozen. Further in their travels, the survivors come across a high canyon wall within which, screened by trees, they identify a river. Ottway suggests having one person jump to the trees to secure a line as a means of traverse.
