Expert mountain climber Jack Furness leads a team climbing one of the world's highest mountains, Machhapuchhare in Nepal. The climb, which is illegal since the peak is considered sacred and holy by the natives, is a catastrophic failure as Jack is the lone survivor of a tremendous avalanche.

In an ice cave high on the mountain's side, Jack finds a fossilized skull. When he returns to California, he takes his find to his former lover, Dr. Stella Swift, a renowned paleoanthropologist, who realizes that Jack has not unearthed a fossil. It seem that the climber has brought back with him evidence of a different hominoid line, potentially the yeti. Jack and Stella quickly organize an expedition to return to the ice cave.

However, unbeknownst to the team leaders, an intruder has entered their academic enclave. The Pentagon, desperate to locate a lost satellite that crashed in the region, has slipped one of their players on the team. The mole's assignment is to find the satellite at any cost.

India and Pakistan are ready to open up the nuclear genie at each other. With the homo sapiens world falling apart around them, Jack and Stella plunge into the world of the abominable snowman. T
