2042: Antarctica guards a secret buried deep within its icy heart.  Dr. Mia Hart, a paleoclimatologist haunted by visions of a dying Earth, leads a desperate expedition to the remote Ellsworth Mountains.  She's not just searching for clues to the past; she's seeking a lifeline for the future.  What she finds is the Glacier Clock, a crystalline structure pulsating with an otherworldly light - a timepiece ticking down to humanity's extinction. Etched within the Clock's icy latticework are chillingly accurate prophecies of impending environmental disasters: the Amazon withering to dust, the North Atlantic Current grinding to a halt, coastal cities swallowed by rising seas.  But the Clock offers more than just warnings; it holds a complex algorithm, a blueprint for our survival. The discovery ignites a global firestorm.  Ruthless corporations, led by the seductive and sinister Carmen McCormick of Helios Energy, see profit in the planet's demise. Governments, driven by self-preservation, descend upon Antarctica, transforming the scientific sanctuary into a geopolitical battleground.  Trapped between corporate greed and nationalistic fervor, Mia's team must choose: safeguard the Clock's knowledge or risk unleashing it upon a fractured world. As the Antarctic winter closes in, and the Clock itself begins to fracture, Mia devises a daring plan - a global transmission, bypassing the powers vying for control, placing the planet's fate in the hands of its people. But time is running out.  The final prophecy, a catastrophic methane release from thawing permafrost, looms large. Can Mia and her team ignite a global awakening and avert the final catastrophe before the ice - and time - runs out?
