Dr. Kristina Sabo has achieved something other researchers can only dream of: In the Arctic, she has discovered a luminescent bacterium—a scientific breakthrough that could drastically reduce global energy consumption.
To secure additional samples, a research vessel sets sail, carrying Kristina and former elite soldier Yorick Vard, who specializes in high-risk missions and is tasked with protecting this expedition at all costs. The further they venture into the Arctic Ocean, the more the voyage spirals out of control.
Extreme weather conditions, mysterious incidents, and deliberate sabotage not only threaten the research but also put the ship and crew in grave danger.
Meanwhile, in Hamburg, Kristina’s colleague realizes the true danger lurking behind the discovery. For a single mistake could trigger an unforeseen chain reaction—and set in motion a chain of events that could drag everything into the abyss...
