Four hundred miles north of the Arctic Circle lies Alaska's Federal Wilderness Zone, one of the most remote places on Earth. A paleoecologist and fellow scientists on an expedition discover an enormous ancient animal encased in solid ice. When a media conglomerate arranges to cut the animal from the ice and thaw it live on television, despite warnings from a local Native American village, the scientists make a horrifying discovery: the beast may be an ancient killing machine, and it may not be dead.
