It's been over 2,000 years since the Great Ice Age unleashed its fury across the earth. To ensure humanity's survival, the Founding Engineers selected a genetically diverse population to live under the safety of a dome, leaving everyone on the outside to perish.
With the real world shut out so long ago, hardly anyone remembers it's there-- least of all Maysel, who's frozen inside. The only thing she has to worry about is the dome's dwindling gene pool, which threatens their very existence. The reason they were chosen. To ensure humanity's survival through the Great Ice Age.
When Maysel finds out the city stole her DNA as a toddler, she teams up with Maddox, a classmate with deep, personal gripes against the city. Together, they uncover the ethically questionable lengths the city has taken to restore the gene pool, and begin to think beyond the dome's false blue sky.
Meanwhile Dr. Hatfield, a scientist for Avtek, spends his summers analyzing ice cores in Antarctica. Until one day, he stumbles across a man-made tunnel on the side of a mountain, just barely peeking above the surface.
The ice is melting.
