Canada's far north.

A vast, frozen and barren land where survival is never guaranteed, and where the northern lights gather in the sky like silent witnesses.

It's in this environment that Mike Gagnon, an experienced pilot and former police officer, runs chartered flights to remote areas of the Canadian Arctic, hauling freight and transporting passengers. His life is routine and regimented-until the day he and his partner, Mario, interact with a Chinese prospection team roaming the Arctic. It's then that they begin to suspect things may not be quite what they seem . . .

Meanwhile, in Ottawa, a CSIS deputy director Claudine St. Germain comes across relevant intelligence indicating that Chinese personnel are extracting valuable Rare Earths minerals illegally on an island in the Northwest Territories. But when she takes what she's learned further up the chain of command, she encounters resistance from a quarter she never could've imagined: the prime minister himself.

There are foreign invaders on Canadian soil. The nation's Arctic sovereignty is in jeopardy.

And Mike, Mario and Claudine may be the only ones willing to gather help to counteract this mastery theft.
