They were fighting over a woman when the plane went down. Now, their only chance for survival is each other.

However, his biggest obstacle might not be the elements, or even the Kodiak bear stalking them -- it could be Robert, whom Charles suspects is having an affair with his wife and would not mind seeing him dead.
