The astonishing true adventure story of a plane crash in the wilds of northern Canada, Six people lost their lives in the plane crash. Four men found theirs. On a wintry October night in 1984, a Piper Navajo commuter plane bound for remote communities in northern Canada set off into thick cloud and freezing rain. One hour later, the plane smashed headlong into a high ridge of rugged forest. Of the ten people on board, only four strangers from wildly different backgrounds survived the crash: Erik, the young pilot who had never wanted to fly in such bad weather in the first place. Larry, a respected politician and family man. Scott, a rookie cop who, against regulations, had unshackled the prisoner he was escorting to face charges and Paul, a criminal and the only one to escape the crash uninjured. The only one capable of keeping the other three alive should he choose to. Into the Abyss is an incredible story of tragedy and hope, of four lives changed for ever by the fierce crucible of a deadly night in the wilderness and by the events that followed.
