Brief Introduction: The story is about a new NASA satellite finds evidence of a rare object buried deep in the Arctic ice, and the space agency proclaims a victory that would make a huge impact on the impending presidential election. The President dispatches White House Intelligence analyst Rachel Sexton and a team of experts to the ice shelf to verify the authenticity of the find. However, after careful inspection, the team finds that the evidence is weird. When the team wants to report the inconsistency with the president, they are attacked by a team of assassins controlled by a mysterious power broker who swears to hide the truth. Therefore, the team is struggling to survive in a lethally desolate environment and finds out who is behind the ploy.
