An American scientific expedition to the frozen wastes of the Antarctic is interrupted by a pair of seemingly mad Norwegians pursuing and shooting at a husky. The helicopter explodes in an accident, and the Norwegians are killed, leaving no explanation for the chase.

During the night, as the scientists look on in shock, the dog mutates and attacks the other dogs in the camp. The team soon realises that a bizarre alien life-form has found its way to their midst.

In the coming days - more pieces of the riddle are put together. Centuries ago - an alien spaceship had crash landed in the Antarctic. The pilot was thrown clear and froze in the ice. The creature is eventually uncovered 100 000 years later by a group of Norwegian scientists who unwittingly thaw the creature out. The alien comes to life and proves to be extremely hostile. It has the ability to alter its own cell structure to that of a consumed organism. As a result- it can imitate any life form perfectly.

Now the 12 men of US Outpost #31 stand between the alien and total infection of the planet. The only problem is - can they trust each other - when there is no guarantee the next man is human?
