Description: It is August 1616, and in the Arctic, the crew of the whaling ship, Heartsease, must return home before the winter ice closes in. All, that is, except Thomas Cave. He makes a wager that he will remain there alone until the next season. So, left with provisions, shelter, and a journal, Cave's lonely contest with the realities of the Arctic winter begins.
