Le Sommet, napůl ukrytý v lese a zastíněný hrozivými vrcholky švýcarských Alp, byl vždy zlověstným místem. Kdysi opuštěné sanatorium, které dlouho provázely znepokojivé pověsti, je nyní zrekonstruováno na luxusní hotel. A je tím posledním místem, kde by Elin Warnerová chtěla být. Ale vzala si volno od své práce detektiva, aby zde mohla oslavit zasnoubení svého bratra Isaaca a jeho přítelkyně Laury. Po příjezdu uprostřed hrozivé bouře se Elin okamžitě cítí divně – hotel ji bez zjevného důvodu znepokojuje. A když následujícího rána zjistí, že Laura zmizela, musí Elin věřit svým instinktům i tomu, že ji dokáže najít.

Elin je pod tlakem, aby Lauru našla, jenže nikdo si nevšiml, že se ztratila další žena. Jediná, která mohla ostatní varovat, jak velké nebezpečí jim všem hrozí…
