The film is set on Christmas Eve at Tower Sky, a luxurious building complex in Seoul. The 108-story building is hosting a White Christmas party for its high-end tenants and VIP guests. Dae-ho, the manager of the building, is forced to cancel his plans with his daughter Hana to manage the party. His day is saved when Yoon-hee, the food mall manager, offers to babysit Hana during the party.
Young-ki, the legendary fire chief of the Yoido Station, has promised his long-suffering wife their first holiday date night. However, tragedy strikes when a helicopter carrying a maintenance crew collides with another helicopter and crashes into the building, causing a massive fire. The building is soon engulfed in flames, and communication with the outside world is cut off.
