For Zoe, though, it's something much more sinister: a way to keep an eye on her increasingly troubled older brother who's an expedition guide for Payal's trip.<br><br>But after Zoe's brother is found dead on the ship en route to the research station, the teens realize they aren't the only ones with secrets.<br><br>The glittering landscape of the South Pole holds the promise of life-changing knowledge and scientific advancements, but as students on the expedition begin to experience inexplicable visions of strange creatures appearing in the ice, Zoe and Payal must confront the question: Will Antarctica let them leave? Or will whatever is buried in the permafrost keep them trapped there forever?</p>
