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
