A young woman steps off a boat and into the vast, frozen expanse of Antarctica. Alone and ill-equipped, she must trek across the unforgiving landscape to reach a distant outpost. Blizzards bury her in snow, crevasses open underfoot, and the relentless cold saps her strength. As she struggles to survive, the ghosts of her past haunt her every step. In this story of resilience and isolation, one woman fights to endure the harshest environment on Earth.
