Summary
Four and a half years after the disappearance of Arctic explorer Sir John Franklin and his two ships, HMS Investigator sets sail in search of them. Instead of rescuing lost comrades, the Investigator's officers and crew soon find themselves trapped in their own ordeal, facing starvation, madness, and death. If only they can save themselves, they will bring back news of a great achievement: their discovery of the elusive Northwest Passage. 2009
