A plane crashes deep in the mountains, its wreckage scattered across a frozen, snowbound wilderness near an old, abandoned mining town.

Among the survivors is a soldier of the Task Force 141, battered and bloodied, struggling to stay conscious as the freezing winds howl around them. They’re not alone, though - another figure stirs among the wreckage: an enemy soldier, equally wounded and just as desperate for survival.

Vladimir Makarov. Main target of the Task Force for months now.

The storm is merciless, and the two are forced into an unthinkable situation - trapped together, with no supplies, no warmth, and the constant threat of the cold swallowing them whole. Trust is nonexistent as both soldiers nurse their injuries, glaring at each other, wondering if the other will make the first move.

Yet, the harsh reality of their predicament sets in... survival depends on cooperation.
