An illness is spreading across the stars.
A girl's blood reveals a secret-a genetic code sought for centuries.
Eighteen-year-old Kaia is not like her father, a hard-working miner - she's an adrenaline junkie. A trait that has gotten her in a fair share of trouble in the glacier town.
When a company of healers arrives in her town after a horrible mining accident, Kaia is forced to flee the only place she has ever known. Hunted, Kaia must enter a deadly iceboarding contest to escape. But as the contest grows closer, Kaia discovers that nothing is what it seems-her dad, her best friend, her home, and worst of all, herself.
