When Ben Carrington's father dies, his mother decides to set up a mountain-rescue team, based in her homeland Austria. But when disaster strikes again, she joins forces with a rich businessman and together they create the secretive rescue team named the Gemini Force.
All Ben wants to do is be part of the team – to save people. But being at college, it's a little hard to convince his mother to let him take part…
He'll just have to prove himself – while observing the heroic rescues carried out by the Gemini Force, of course.
