The video is a narrative of three stories about people who ventured into forbidden or dangerous locations. The first story is about an 18-year-old Hawaiian native named Dalein who, despite warnings, decided to climb the island's famous but illegal Haiku Stairs, also known as the Stairway to Heaven. Despite his grandmother's pleas, Dalein went ahead with the hike and documented it on social media. However, he disappeared during the hike, and his last photos showed a man hiding in the forest. His fate remains unknown.
The second story is about Bouvet Island, the most remote island in the world. In 1964, British explorer Alan Crawford and his team were sent to inspect the island. Crawford found a wooden lifeboat and other signs of human life, but his team dismissed it as a shipwreck. Two years later, another crew found the lagoon but not the lifeboat or any signs of human life.
The third story is about Jacob's Well, a natural wonder in Central Texas. In 1983, 24-year-old college students Richard Patton and Clark McConnell entered the fourth chamber of Jacob's Well, a forbidden area. Richard entered first and was the first to die. Clark, who was following him, was able to escape but had to use an emergency procedure to breathe while Richard was trapped in the dark.
