Antarctica. 14 million square kilometers of ice is isolated from the world and plunged into darkness for six months of the year. Minimum temperature: -84°C. Wind speed: 160 km/h. Nature never wanted man to survive there. However, this environment is not the most dangerous for Kerry Stetko. The only representative of the law in this unforgiving territory, he must investigate a body found on the ice. First murder in Antarctica.
