Alaskan wilderness is the major backdrop for this film with a plot that
is highly unlikely – or is it? It's compelling but something doesn’t ring true
about it all; that could be because the implausible plot in the film is based on a falsehood.
Miles and Liam (two brothers) intent on saving the fishing boat of their
late mother hatch a scheme. Miles, the older sibling will fake getting lost in
the snowy wilds in the mountains and stay undetected for 10 days. But this
movie is full of hoaxes that don’t bring in the money they hope to get from
writing a book about Miles’ dangerous mishap in the mountains.
Instead, the
plan gets found out and each brother must conjure up a way to keep the deception going.
Ironically, Miles wants out of the plan once he returns from the mountain, but the trek caused severe injury to him.
Once back, he has a change of heart, and this stirs up even more problems. In the end, the
mother’s boat is the least of the brothers' worries. The interminable number of big and
small plot twists becomes a parody on the reversal of fortune for most everyone
involved. Still, the acting wasn’t bad, but the vivid scenery was the true scene stealer of it
all.
