In a world where betrayal lurks among the mountains and life is a high-stakes game, a former hitman, played by Clint Eastwood, is forced out of retirement to undertake a dangerous mission. His life, dedicated to teaching the art of climbing, takes an unexpected turn when he is recruited by an intelligence agency to eliminate a traitor who has been leaking secrets within their operations. The only clue they have is that the target is located on the steep slopes of the majestic Eiger, a titanic challenge that has already devoured many climbers.
As he prepares for the ascent, the protagonist finds himself caught between two worlds: that of the mountain, where he must confront his fears and personal demons, and that of betrayal, as he learns to trust those around him. On his journey, he encounters a group of climbers with hidden agendas, battling not only against the cold, harsh nature but also against an enemy lurking in the shadows. The film thus becomes an intense game of strategy, mistrust, and action, where each move could be his last. With stunning climbing scenes and a screenplay that blends thriller and adventure, this story explores how far a person will go for love and revenge, all while unfolding against the icy backdrop of the Swiss mountains.
