An ahistorical retelling of Dr. Wilfred Grenfell's adventure lost at sea on an iceberg.

Retold through an expressionistic blend of live-action photography and avant-garde animation, Wilfred Grenfell's thrilling autobiographical account of his adventures adrift on the ice with a team of sled dogs becomes a phantasmagoric nightmare as he confronts his heroic legacy and his faith in what he fears may be his final moments.
