During the next five days, Aron tries to free himself and finally resorts to cutting off his crushed hand. Now, he must climb a steep canyon wall and hike a long trail before receiving help. During his ordeal, Aron examines his life and, through flashbacks, recalls his family and friends–especially Megan (Amber Tamblyn) and Kristi (Kate Mara) who he had enjoyed a wonderful afternoon with shortly before the boulder came crashing down on him.
