Nearing the end of a failed exploratory mining mission in Antarctica, geologist Sammie Bailey drills into an ice cave and discovers a valuable new mineral. The young crew are ecstatic to be going home in two days and with their full bonuses, at the behest of off-base commander Harrison Schultz. Even the cook Leo, who’s not on a share, is pleased to be leaving after months on the isolated base.
When Sammie wakes the day after the party, however, she’s facing more than just a hangover. The latest drill has woken a malevolent Creature, which begins attacking the crew. As they fall one by one, Sammie leads the charge to get the communications back on line. With the rescuers finally on their way, Sammie and Leo realise that science officer Mia has been conspiring with Harrison to use the mineral for military purposes. As a white out descends, Sammie gets the mineral back from Mia and kills the Creature, using the power of the mineral itself. She and Leo destroy the whole base, and fly back to civilisation.
