In 2034, a shadowy government agency discreetly approaches an eclectic group of expert glaciologists, a technical engineer, a tech programmer, and a science fiction publisher. They are offered contracts to work on a classified project at an isolated facility in the North Pole. When they arrive, they discover they've been selected for more than just their expertise. Beneath the ice lies a secret that could alter humanity's understanding of its place in the universe. Can this team lead Earth into an unknown future? Are they brave enough to see what is beyond the Moon? Who or what is Iris? Will Elena and Lila have a meeting of the minds? Will former General Locke turned Agent give up his secrets? Can Ethan produce a bestseller? Can Jake make peace with the O's and 1's in his head?
