In the near future winter of 2018 a game of technological supremacy turns deadly as two global superpowers face off. An elite unit of Navy SEALs, the officers and crew of an advanced hunter-killer submarine designated USS Seawolf, a sociopathic intelligence agent and a mercurial Chinese Special Forces commander will wage a secret war deep in the Arctic tundra in a desperate race to reach a prototype surveillance satellite. In the process, they unwittingly unleash an ancient, malevolent creature from its primordial prison. A terrifying entity that will hunt them across ice, across oceans to the very doorsteps of their homes and show them the true nature of the Apex Predator.
