Condition: BRAND NEW On a mission that doubles as a film project for his mother’s environmental protection work, Jack Courtney convinces his friends Amelia and Xander, along with cousin Caleb, to join an Arctic expedition. As the team moves across frozen landscapes—sledding with dogs, ice fishing, and navigating in a self-made igloo—questions about their sponsors begin to surface. Xander’s digging into the backers behind the venture uncovers unsettling tensions: is the renewable energy investment company truly as environmentally responsible as it claims?

As accidents mount and the wilderness closes in, Caleb confronts danger head‑on when a pack of wolves forces the group to confront their limits.
