Description
A derelict refinery platform in the Arctic Ocean serves as the isolated outpost for a skeleton crew of fifteen. Their mission is to wait out the long winter and then make their way home, but they are unaware that the world beyond is facing catastrophic collapse. As the crew struggles to survive the harsh environment, they must also contend with a deadly global pandemic that has ravaged cities worldwide. With one by one TV channels dying, the only remaining connection to the outside world begins to fade away. The crew's desperate bid for survival becomes a fight for their lives as they battle starvation, hypothermia, and the approaching contagion.
