Cody and her cousin Derek take a covert kayaking trip in the Alaskan wilderness. When an advancing glacier dams a fjord, the two kayakers are trapped. They fight hunger and snowblindness before receiving help from a mysterious couple who live in the remote woods. Although its emotional content is limited, the story moves briskly and will appeal to fans of the survival genre.
