After losing both her parents in an airplane accident, she is now living in a facility known for using adventure education to turn troubled adolescents into responsible adults. As Karina and other students enter Devils Icebox, a mazelike cave with a bad reputation for taking the lives of early explorers, they hope to experience a day of challenging spelunking. Instead, they soon are summoned by local authorities to rescue other spelunkers trapped insidebefore it is too late.

As the thrill and excitement of cave exploration transforms into a living nightmare, Karina makes a fateful decision that results in the death of a child.

In this captivating tale, a teenager puts her own life on the line in a perilous race against timeand flowing lavain a desperate attempt to change a course of tragic events.

His leadership courses train students to use survival techniques in harsh environments to develop better communication, teamwork, and decision-making skills. He supervises a marine research program that prepares students to be active global citizens by learning to scuba dive and collect data on the health of ocean reefs.
