Jack persuades his friends Amelia and Xander, along with his cousin Caleb, to join an Arctic expedition under the guise of filming for his mother’s environmental work. However, Xander’s inquiries into the backers of their trip raise doubts about the true intentions of the supposedly eco-friendly renewable energy company sponsoring them. As the group enjoys sledding with dogs, ice fishing, snowmobiling, and staying in a self-made igloo, they face a series of accidents. When Caleb confronts a pack of wolves, disaster ensues, forcing Jack to question whether his mother's friend Jonny Armfield is truly an ally or part of the trouble.
