A father (Gross) and his two children (Milligan, Ferguson) take a trip up to a log cabin in the mountains. Duncan (Hasselhoff) is a diamonds smuggler who unintentionally crashes his plane causing an avalanche that traps the family inside their cabin. He is rescued by the family. While they are trying to dig their way out to freedom, he instead aggressively forces them to search for the diamonds he had smuggled from Russia.[1]
