โฆ Synopsis
On the icy slopes of the great ice-mountain of Bylot Island, set against the metallic blue of the Canadian Arctic sky, Shepherd has a vision of the world as it used to be, before the human race was weakened by stupidity and greed.

He discovers that he can no longer take a back-seat in the rapid self-destruction of the world, and is forced to make a momentous decision.
