Maciej Berbeka made his first winter ascent of Broad Peak in 1988, narrowly avoiding death by inches. Andrzej Zawada, the expedition leader, announced a great success. However, upon their return to Poland, it was revealed that Maciej had only reached "only" the Rocky Summit, which is twenty-three metros lower than the actual peak located one hour away. Disillusioned with his friends' lies, Berbeka withdrew from mountaineering. Twenty-four years later, he takes a call from Krzysztof Wielicki, who also participated in the first expedition. "We have to finish what we started," says Krzysztof as he persuades Maciej to join the next Broad Peak expedition. After a long hesitation, Maciej decides to try once again.
