The story begins with Boyd Emerson and his companion "Fingerless" Fraser struggling through a daunting snowstorm on their way to the remote village of Kalvik, a place known for its fishing enterprises. As they navigate the treacherous conditions, the characters face both physical and emotional challenges, shaping their destinies amid the stark beauty of the North. The opening of the novel plunges the reader into the icy world of Kalvik as the weary travelers make their way through blizzards and treacherous ice. Boyd Emerson, feeling despondent and lost, encounters a half-breed who helps them out of their dire situation after they break through the ice. Upon reaching the village, the men seek shelter but are met with hostility and refusal by the locals. Eventually, they are taken in by Cherry Malotte, a strong-willed woman who runs a trading post in the area. As Boyd begins to find hope and purpose in her company, the story hints at a brewing conflict with the powerful cannery owner, Willis Marsh, setting the stage for a tale of ambition and struggle against formidable odds.
