Thora, the continuing main character from the series, is part of a legal team hired by a bank to investigate the operations of an Icelandic mining company in Greenland. The employees have left and are refusing to go back after three of their number simply vanished. The local Inuit are hostile to the mining operation and won't even speak to the investigators. The only clue is a video tape that suggests something terrible happened at the mining camp.
