On a good day, any sane person could never imagine what it would feel like to be on a doomed crashing jetliner, much less live to tell the tale.
A combination of fiction and non-fiction, impossible to tell which, this is the story of one man that lives to tell the experience as the jetliner starts breaking apart at the arctic circle above Canada.
Living through the experience is horrendous enough by itself but when Travis James realizes that his life is thought to be forfeited in the wreckage and there is no help coming? He goes into survival mode as his damaged body wreaks havoc and keeps him trapped in the wilderness, keeping him from traveling south to safety.
A man of means, aching to return to his family that believes he is dead is the driving force that pushes a man to the limits and beyond of his ability as the unfriendly terrain takes it's toll.
When the push south finally begins, the trail is littered with agony and death as the civilized world refuses to acknowledge that there were any survivors or that he is anything other than a homeless man.
A disfigured Travis is constantly trying to decide whether to join his family, knowing he no longer looks quite the same, or to wander off into the sunset and save his family more grief.
Some names have been changed to protect the families of the innocent.
