The Alaskan Pipeline creates an influx of money and people through Alaska, but there are those concerned with the ravaging of this great state's natural resources. One of those people is Louis Hastings - an environmentalist from California. Determined to stop the pipeline, Hastings devises a plan to blow it up, but first he must eliminate all possible witnesses. In the small town of McCarthy, Hastings stalks his victims one by one, determined to carry out his murderous plan.

Best known as the place to see Santa and his sleigh, the tiny town of North Pole, Alaska is a quiet, safe haven.

As investigators scramble to catch up with the suspected serial murderer before he claims another victim, he concocts a plan to outwit police once and for all.
