Summary:

Three caretakers and a single remaining researcher, who keep the Northern Institute in working order in case research ever resumes, find their work upended by a mysterious object that appears in the snow that soon challenges their every notion of what is normal.

In the far reaches of the world, the Northern Institute sits in a vast expanse of ice and snow. Shut down after an unspecified incident, the research facility was evacuated and is now home to three caretakers-- Gibbs, Cline, their supervisor Hart-- and a single researcher, Gilroy, studying the sensation of coldness. When an object appears out in the snow, Gibbs and Cline can't discern its exact shape or color, or whether it's moving or fixed in place. Suddenly time and gravity seem less than reliable. Hart wrestles for control of his own psyche as the thing in the snow beguiles his team and challenges their every notion of what is normal. -- adapted from jacket
