Bear Island is known as the wartime graveyard of the Arctic, where Nazi submarines lay in wait for the Murmansk convoys. As the charter ship Morning Rose sails through wintery seas towards the islands, the doctor on board, Christopher Marlowe, is kept busy attending to his sea-sick patients - the members of a film crew who are to make a film on Bear Island so secret that none of them know much about it. Then another, more mysterious, malady attacks them and in some cases proves fatal. But there is something highly unnatural about both the illness and its selection of victims. The Morning Rose has a murderer on board.
