Synopsis: With the world´s last oil and gas reserves exposed in the thawing Arctic, a growing group of entrepeneurs, troops and exiled politicians have travelled north to the unplanned and lawless town of Borealis, each vying for their share of black gold and a stake in the earth´newest and last frontier. 
At the center of sabotage, politics and lawlessness is Vic Carboneau - an ex-ultimate fighter and the man who built and controls the only way in or out of Borealis: the airstrip.
But there´s more at stake in Borealis than just oil and gas. There´s a scientific research station nearby manned by Alison Freemont - a highly respected biologist. Where Vic sees a once-in-a-millennium opportunity, Alison sees an ecological catastrophe in the making.
