Dr. Kruipen, world famous expert in global warming, is in the Artic doing research in hopes of convincing people of the seriousness of this issue. While tracking a polar bear, he discovers the melting ice caps have revealed a wooly mammoth. However the mammoth is infected with some sort of parasite which is not finicky about who or what it inhabits.
Three students majoring in Ecology who were chosen to work with Kruipen are already on their way. The fourth member of their team, Kruipen's daughter, is only there due to feeling forced into it by her often absent father.
Due to the risks associated with his find, Kruipen asks the pilot to tell his daughter there is a change of plans and she can not come out to the site. She refuses to accept this since she has traveled so far, as well as the fact that she is angry at her father so she's not going to do what he says.
When the pilot, college students, and daughter arrive at home base, they find it deserted and also find the carcass of the polar bear in the lab. When one of her father's crew shows up badly injured and no one at the camp will answer on the radio, two of the students head out to find out what happened. The parasite is at the site and back at the base, and as it infects people, the chances of survival get slimmer.
