To appease the angry mountain gods, the famous Nepalese mountaineer and national hero, Mingma Tsiri Sherpa, risks everything to return to Mount Everest one last time to retrieve a body–one among hundreds left frozen on the mountain–and appease the sacred mountain. The life-threatening mission is a dizzying adrenaline rush, told from a local perspective, unlike any other film shot from the spectacular mountain.
