A U.S. marshal (Kate Beckinsale), the only one assigned to Antarctica, tracking a sadistic executioner through the Antarctic must scrutinize a killing there in three days before the Antarctic winter begins and the sun sets for six months. She crosses paths with a UN operative (Gabriel Macht), also investigating the possible slaying. But whilst probing the iced up tundra they find a corpse prompting the first slaying investigation ever to take place on the deserted Antarctic Circle continent. Early in the story, Steko is attacked by the killer and left for dead in a storm. She saves herself but loses two fingers due to extreame cold-related injuries.

Carrie does not understands that she's all of a sudden been propelled into a mystery over 60 years in the making, and that the executioner is ready to smack again in order to watch over a gruesome secret. Now, as the death toll starts to go up, loyalties shift, and a vast sequence of whiteouts blow harsh winds across the iced up land, the U.S. Marshall who wanted to flee the cold must work 24 hours to grab hold of the killer before the white snow gives way to the deadly darkness of winter.
