Work 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.
