Summary

A private plane hits a blizzard somewhere near the Arctic Circle. With their instruments down and visibility gone, Viv Bird and her two friends crash land onto a glacier. No one knows they’re alive, and they don’t know where they are. Marooned in the ruins of their plane, the three companions must battle horrendous conditions - hoping their sense of humour will be just enough to keep them alive… A Noiser production, written by Nicole Edmunds.
