After two
years stationed at Antarctica's South Pole research base, lone U.S. Marshal
Carrie Stetko (Kate Beckinsale) is as anxious as anyone to be going home. She's
turned in her resignation and is counting the hours and minutes to the last
plane out. But three days before departure, a body turns up on the ice and
Carrie is immediately thrust into Antarctica's first murder investigation. As
the death toll mounts, the mystery deepens with shifting loyalties, deadly
whiteouts, and a relentless killer who will stop at nothing to protect a secret
buried for over sixty years.
Now with everyone around her packing up and getting out, Carrie must solve the
crime before Antarctica is plunged into six months of darkness and she is
stranded with the killer on a land where nothing comes in and no one gets out
