On a desolate island off the coast of Cape Horn, an object of unimaginable proportions lies buried in the frozen earth. It is the largest meteorite ever discovered, a scientific treasure beyond measure. A visionary billionaire is determined to claim it as the centerpiece for his new museum, no matter the cost. He assembles a team of the world's best engineers and scientists aboard a state-of-the-art ship, equipped for the most audacious retrieval operation in history, a flawless plan to move an object that seems impossible to move.
But as the crew begins their work in the brutal, unforgiving landscape, the mission starts to unravel. The object itself defies explanation, its properties unlike anything known to science, and from the first attempt to approach it, people begin to die. Faced with mounting technical disasters, a hostile military presence, and the crushing power of the Antarctic seas, the team soon realizes their greatest threat may be the very thing they came to collect. They are not taking this ancient, enigmatic object anywhere. It is taking them.
