Set in the present in a look out station in the Arctic Circle 500km north of Tasiilaq. Paul Cartwright has been up in the station for the better part of 15 years. He has lost his mind. The Danish and English governments, who own and operate the station, are sending a scientist up there to close it down and remove Paul from danger. When the story opens, and for sometime, Paul has been feeding a polar bear who has moved into the area due to the shrinking ice cap. Everyday he endangers himself stepping outside to feed the beast. His only contact is through a video screen where he interacts with his family and the outside world. The Danish scientist that is sent to shut it all off is Martin, who was Paul’s lover at university in the 1980’s. Sparks fly. Can either one of them cope with the solitude and being with each other while pursued by the snow, ice, cold and hungry polar bear?
