From the back cover:
A DC-3 is forced down upon a remote lake in the Klondike in the midst of winter, 1948. The crew and 9 passengers - including a hooker, a crook, a pregnant teenager, a preacher, a drunk...an odd assortment of people who never expected to spend more than a few hours together - discover that the worst natural conditions can bring out the worst - but also the best - in human nature. When the possibilities are scarce, anything can happen.
And it does. Wolves, subzero arctic winds, starvation, love, courage, birth, marriage, death....
