Earth, in the 87th century, is a vastly different place than now. It is covered in a mile-thick coat of ice, and cities are groaning under the weight of it. For many, they live in apartments and tenement buildings, using special lamps, as they live quite close to the earth's frozen crust.
Hardened cop, Johnny Steel, has his hands full when he takes on a homicidal Ice Bear, who is hell-bent on destroying the planet. Johnny Steel fears that the Bear will take out as many people as he can, especially as the more he digs into the Bear's whereabouts, and recent criminal activity, he realizes just how disturbed the Bear is.
