What if our only hope for survival becomes our greatest threat ? Thirty days to evacuate to Antarctica. This is the edict given to the human race when, on an ordinary summer day, a mysterious and omnipotent force arrives to claim the planet.

As ordinary-born people eke out an existence on the surface, beneath the ice something new is growing with dreams of its own.
