Description

Fate has dealt a strange hand at Trinity Creek, gathering three very different prospectors in a frozen wilderness that tests both body and spirit. Ng Loy, a weather‑worn Chinese veteran of the gold rush, carries the grit of an Argonaut while clutching a modest grub‑stake. Beside him stand Lars, a hulking, superstitious Swede whose gruff voice sounds like a bear, and Jimmy, a quick‑witted Irishman whose humor masks a deep‑seated dread of the howling blizzard that whirls around their cabin.

When the storm deepens and their meagre supplies shrink to a handful of beans and a walnut‑size slice of bacon, the three men abandon the safety of fire and blankets for a desperate trek toward a hidden cache fifty miles away. Their snow‑shoes disintegrate under the ice‑like snow, and each step becomes a gamble as they press forward through endless white, clinging to the hope that luck will guide them out of the storm before the cold claims them.
