Failed explorer William Day returns from a Polar exploration in disgrace. A cannibal. A murderer. Thirteen years later, his second-in-command, Jesse Stevens, has gone missing in the same waters, and Day sees an opportunity for redemption. But when the rescue mission into the frozen wastes becomes an uncanny journey into his own past, Day must face up to the terrible things he's done. Aboard ship, Day must also contend with unwanted passengers: a reporter obsessively digging up the truth about the first expedition, and Stevens's wife, a spiritualist whose seances both fascinate and frighten. Following a trail of cryptic messages, gaunt bodies, and old bones, their search becomes more and more unnerving, and it is clear that the restless dead are never far behind.
