In the midst of a world war in the 2040's and trapped behind enemy lines, Ryan fights to survive in the frigid cold of the Arctic Circle.
Some 3,000 miles away from home, Ryan is stranded deep in northern Canada. All alone, he explores the desolate snowy lands around him. Is he really alone? No, but he doesn't know that... yet.
