The story of Patrick Sumner, a disgraced ex-army surgeon who signs up as a ship's doctor on a dangerous whaling expedition to the Arctic. On board, he meets Henry Drax, a harpooner and brutish killer whose amorality has been shaped to fit the harshness of this cold and isolated all-male world. As Sumner seeks to escape the horrors of his past, his decisions bring him into direct conflict with this murderous psychopath. His search for redemption soon becomes a harsh struggle for survival in an unforgiving Arctic wasteland
