Harper and her best friend planned to join the San Francisco Ballet. But when things don't go according to plan, Harper finds herself on an Antarctic research base. Chapters alternately relate Harper's time in Antarctica and, beginning "140 days ago," events leading to her current situation. Lighter subplots, including one involving a rival beaux, temper the poignancy of this affecting novel.
