Winter has fallen on the South Pole and the sun will soon disappear for the next six months. A small 10-member team of scientists including world renowned biologist Arthur Wilde will remain at the Polaris VI Antarctic Research Station to continue their research work while the summer team leaves the continent. The commander of the summer team Johan Berg bids his wife Annika, who has been chosen for the winter team, farewell and entrusts the management of the research station to the commander of the winter team Erik Osterland. A young doctor Maggie Mitchell, who is participating in the winter team for the first time, and Arthur’s right-hand man Kobayashi Aki carefully prepare for the long winter. However, in the middle of the six-month winter, communication between the research station and the outside world is suddenly disrupted.

Seven of the researchers died violent deaths. A killer is on the loose and Annika is missing. If Johan wants to find her alive, he will have to trust Maggie who is profoundly shaken and apparently the sole survivor from the group … … What happened at the isolated base in those six months?
