STYRTET ER KUN BEGYNDELSEN Et fly styrter ned midt i Arktis, og otte unge overlevende træder ud af vraget. Men i stedet for at møde is og sne, befinder de sig midt i en underlig jungle. Uden mad og drikke. Og der er intet håb om redning. Junglen er fuld af fremmedartede og dødbringende trusler – fra dæmoniske flænsefugle til kødædende planter og et mystisk væsen, hvis skræmmende skrig kommer nærmere og nærmere … En forrygende overlevelseshistorie fyldt med mysterier, farer og stærkt sammenhold, hvor selv den mindste beslutning kan betyde forskellen på liv og død.
