Troubled neuro-parasitology expert JED is summoned to an underground research facility in the Arctic. A fracking accident has unearthed a mysterious parasitic bacterium and the only survivor is his wife, ABIGAIL, a micro-biologist. Called Dolosos, the ancient organism seems to be able to hack into her brain and enhance her mental faculties. Does Dolosos represent the next stage of our evolution or are we about to be subsumed by an alien intelligence? 

A contained cerebral sci-fi thriller in the vein of EX MACHINA and MOON, ICE explores a new thought-provoking view of Evolution to delve into the question of what it means to be human.
