In the midst of preparing her students for the school's annual musical production, Julie Miller, a respected high school music teacher, is stricken with a life-threatening illness. As she and her family try to cope with the heart-wrenching news, Julie begins searching for answers to better understand her illness and the uncertainty of her future. While seeking out support from an online internet forum, Julie hears about a medical conference being given by the brilliant but reclusive Dr. Martin Singh, whose desperate search for a method to prolong human life has become all-consuming after the death of his beloved wife. Could this meeting with Dr. Singh be the answer to Julie's prayers? Or the beginning of a horrific nightmare? Beyond Ice offers a glimpse into a future filled with possibilities: cures for some of our most life-threatening diseases; hope for continued understanding and empathy for the afflicted and their families; and recognition of the delicate responsibility associated with scientific, technological, and medical advances.
