ARCTIC BLAST When a solar eclipse sends a colossal blast of super chilled air towards the earth, it sets off a catastrophic chain of events that threatens to engulf the world in ice! A US research vessel sits on a calm Antarctic Ocean just 100 miles off the coast of Australia studying the thinning of the ozone. Suddenly a blast of sub zero air strikes the vessel, flash freezing the scientists and crew, bodily fluids turning to ice, skin splitting as ice crystals expand in muscle and tissue – the deaths are horrific and instant… JACK TATE (Michael Shanks), a brilliant, yet troubled physicist specializing in Earth Sciences is the land based support for the research vessel. Complicating his life is a messy divorce from the local medical examiner EMMA (Alexandra Davies) and a strained relationship with his teenaged daughter Naomi (Indiana Evans). When Jack learns about the bizarre deaths of his colleagues, he sets off to discover the cause. By piecing together the chain of events: the solar eclipse, a sudden drop in temperature of the mesosphere, and a rip in the ozone layer, Jack concludes that all of these elements have combined to create the ultimate disaster--a new ICE AGE! But when Jack presents his theory to the scientific community, his rogue past catches up to him and they refuse to listen to his solution to save the planet. With part of the South Pacific in a deep freeze and a mass evacuation underway in coastal Australia and New Zealand, the frigid air mass is heading towards the western coast of the continental United States. It must be stopped before millions more die. Jack is soon faced with another dilemma when he discovers that Andrea has gone missing. When the government’s plan to stop the massive super chilled cold front is unsuccessful, Jack puts his unconventional methods into action. As the deadly and ever growing ice cold air mass envelops cities, flash freezing every living thing in its path, Jack becomes the planet’s last chance to stop the impending ice age! |
