The tragic Hornby expedition of 1926 follows John Hornby, a self-proclaimed arctic outdoorsman whose survival skills are compromised by past experiences and injuries from World War I. Despite his expressed disillusionment with the north, he recruits his inexperienced cousin, Edgar Christian, and Harold Adlard for a perilous journey into the remote Thelon River area of Canada's Northwest Territories. The story explores themes of hubris, the harsh realities of wilderness survival, and the consequences of underestimating nature.

Set in a post-coronavirus world, the story revolves around Skye Rider, a journalist unknowingly carrying explosive data that could change humanity's future. Alongside her on a fateful flight is Willis Roxton, a HAARP technician entangled in the conspiracy she seeks to expose. After a solar anomaly crashes their plane in the Canadian boreal forest, Skye, Willis, and a young Cree boy named Suki must navigate a rapidly deteriorating society amidst a global infrastructure collapse. Their struggle for survival raises questions about the remnants of civilization.
