When stranded polar bears start killing one another, newspaper owner Kevin Ennis sees the perfect opportunity to get rid of his cheating wife, who's a reporter and her lover, a photographer. He sends them to the island, hoping they'll get attacked and killed. The plan goes awry when a serial killer gets stranded on the island with them.

Aging Fishery Officer William McDaniel attempts a rescue, but when he reaches the island, he finds himself caught in a war between survivors and the bears themselves. In the end, the only way to escape is to do it his way, old school.
