The Canadian Arctic - a frozen land where bone-chilling winds and negative forty degree temperatures can last for days on end. Matthew and Kayak are familiar with the territory, and they plan carefully before they set out on their secret snowmobile search - a search for Matthew's missing father. But when the boys become stranded, every minute is a struggle for survival. Based in part on a true story, "Frozen Fire" vividly depicts the traditional Eskimo way of life. It is a story about wisdom, hope, and the will to survive.
