Ice is alive. There, inside a centuries-old block, a ten-year-old boy is sealed—and his heart beats. The snowy wasteland is merciless to people. Shouldn't Professor Robert Warren, tired from hard work and freezing at the edge of the world, know this? Time stands still here, and 1946 is just another date on the calendar. Fate gives Warren, who has lost his son, a second chance... But saving the 'ice boy' seems impossible. If only because, only after escaping the captivity of a century-long slumber, the child, speaking a language no one understands, begins to rapidly age. This encounter will change the lives of both: the boy, who should have died a hundred years ago, and the professor, slowly fading from despair.
