Joe Thomas leads an expedition to the islands west of Greenland in search of Viking relics, but the locals warn of a fearsome red-bearded giant haunting Shumnaki Island—especially during the full moon. When Joe and his party land on the mysterious island, they discover far more than ancient treasure: a hidden cave system that conceals a secret submarine base, and the "ghost of Eric the Red" is no ghost at all. Now trapped and facing Colonel Tamara and her armed forces, Joe must find a way to escape and expose what's really hidden beneath the Arctic ice.

When Deering's submarine surfaces near an ice shelf, he discovers the expedition's sole survivor, a young boy, fleeing hostile forces determined to seize the precious metal discovery for themselves.
