β¦ Synopsis
"An epic page-turner, with Canada's frozen north as the setting and the Earth as the ultimate prize for whichever side wins the war."βGregory L. Norris, screenwriter for Star Trek Voyager
Marty Croft has it all. A beautiful wife, and a successful career as a commercial artist. That is until his past comes back to haunt him. Enter the psychotic son of Marty's former gangster boss. After Marty's wife is kidnapped, he finds himself forced back into a world he left behind.
The job seems simple enough. Drive the world's longest ice road and retrieve a package of stolen diamonds. But what will become of Marty and his wife when the job is done? Will they be disposed of as potential witnesses?
But in a twist of fate, the Acadia Diamond mine, located 200 kilometers below the Arctic Circle, has found something buried in the ice. It is a portal not of this world, and it is about to be unlocked by unsuspecting scientists. Once opened, the creatures, known as Skentophyte, attackβand what started out as a heist becomes a war for survival against mind-controlling aliens. The Acadia mine has become the beachhead of an all-out invasionβand Marty must fight through it if he has any hope of saving his wife from a maniac...
