Overview: Entrepreneur Ethan DeTournay has devoted his life to two things: solving the problem of clean energy, and achieving full membership in the elite philanthropic Order of the Global Brotherhood. At last, he has an opportunity to potentially achieve both objectives at once. The only problem is, their mining operation would result in an environmental poison to the neighboring rural Mexican community. The Order considers this a reasonable sacrifice in the name of ‘the greater good.’ If he refuses, he’ll lose everything. When Ethan finds out that his ex-girlfriend Elle happens to be serving in that community as a local physician, though, he knows he can’t go through with it.
As Ethan attempts to regroup, Elle’s sister calls Ethan out of the blue, telling him she’s in trouble. Elle has always been ‘the one that got away,’ so Ethan is only too glad to drop everything and rescue her. Meanwhile, Ethan connects with Mitch, an elderly and eccentric billionaire with a secret archeological interest in an area of Antarctica, Deception Island, where Ethan suspects he can mine rare earth minerals without poisoning indigenous populations. Mitch offers to fund the expedition, provided they search for evidence of ancient civilizations along with the rare earth metals as well. Ethan suspects Mitch is crazy—after all, everyone knows that no native populations have ever lived on the coldest and most hostile continent on earth. But Mitch has the money and the connections for world-class mining and archaeology teams, as well as access to the fully renovated Deception Station. With no other options, Ethan accepts Mitch’s proposal, and manages to convince Elle to accompany the team as their physician. She anticipates a restful, if bitterly cold, vacation.
