The men on board Her Britannic Majesty's Ships Terror and Erebus had every expectation of triumph. They were part of Sir John Franklin's 1845 expedition - an advanced scientific enterprise - and their vessels were the first steam-driven ships to search for the fabled North-West Passage.

The ships have been trapped in Arctic ice for nearly two years. Coal and supplies are running low. The true threat isn't the shifting ice, freezing temperatures, dwindling supplies, or the ships being crushed by the ice.

A far more terrifying threat lurks in the darkness. Something haunts the ships, attacking and mutilating crew members. It is an unseen, omnipresent terror.

After Franklin's death, Captain Francis Crozier of HMS Terror must lead the remaining crew across the ice. Accompanying them is an Eskimo woman who cannot speak, potentially the key to their survival or the cause of their doom. As hunger, scurvy, madness, and the creature's attacks intensify, Crozier's crew fears there is no escape.
