Synopsis

Based on a manga by Nobuyuki Fukumoto.
 
Asai and Ji-yong, who are alumni of their university’s mountaineering club, set out on a memorial climb to mark the 17th anniversary of the death of their classmate Nishida Sayuri who was declared missing and presumed dead during a graduation climb 16 years ago. However, they get caught in a fierce snowstorm and become stranded. Believing he is going to die after suffering a severe leg injury, Ji-yong confesses to Asai that he was the one who killed Sayuri 16 years ago. Tormented by the guilt of his crimes, Ji-yong feels a sense of relief and release from his suffering. However, just after his confession, a mountain hut appears before them, and the two manage to get to safety. However, as they went for the rescue crew to arrive, Ji-yong begins to regret his confession, and an awkward and tense atmosphere begins to flow between the two.
