After a grueling solo expedition on Vatnajökull Glacier, Austrian toponymist Bernhardt Fingerberg returns to civilization, barely alive, and into the care of Dr. Lassi. The doctor, suspicious of his story, attempts to discover his real motives for venturing into the treacherous wastelands of Iceland – but the secrets she unravels may be more dangerous than they’re worth. Was he really researching place names out there, or retracing the footsteps of a 20-year-old crime involving someone very close to him?
