A hundred miles from anywhere, in the most dangerous climate in the world at 7 000 feet altitude among the icy hurricanes and lethal blizzards of the north Greenland icecap, lies the American army Polar research station Camp Hundred. There only advanced technology keeps three hundred men alive, and as Harry Bowes arrives to carry out trials of a new type of air cushion vehicle, disaster seems to fly with him. The perils of Hundred, already fearsome, grow daily more deadly as bad luck and accidents begin to threaten not only the lives and sanity of its inhabitants, but the existence of the Camp itself.

When Bowes, new to the Arctic, believes he detects a pattern to events, his suspicions are at first merely derided. But then, as he persists, he finds himself isolated in an atmosphere of claustrophobic tension, suspicion and growing violence and compelled to risk his own life again and again to try to save Hundred from itself.
