Claustrophobic and interesting at the beginning but far fetched
Given there's only two real characters in this novel, author Charles Martin does a not bad job developing their roles.

The story surrounds Dr Ben Payne and writer Ashley Knox, who get caught up in a plane crash in the remote icy mountains of the High Uintas Wilderness. Both quite seriously injured, they attempt to battle all odds to survive.

Although the setting is well laid out, the actual plot and dialogue is slightly hyperbolic, and the long-winded explanations of love are rather sappy. The female characters are written as if swooning at Dr Payne's every beck and call. So while the novel began as a gripping survivalist plot, it falls into a wishy washy romance trap and ultimately ends up on the ash heap of almost good stories.

Oldie but goodie
Brilliant film! Good story, makes the veiwer question the main woman's sanity.

Gripping thriller about a mother who's struggling to move on from her son passing away in a plane crash, but did he ever exist?? She's seeing phycological therapists, her husband is trying to help her, all she talks about is her little boy Sam, but no one else knows what she's talking about with there being no pictures, he's room is empty and the video tapes blank, she feels like she is going mad and everyone is erasing Sam from there life's but it's not all that simple she isn't mad her bond as a mother is so strong she can't help but remember her little boy. The truth might not be for everyone but I think it's a good film definitely worth the watch!
