In einer der ungemütlichsten Gegenden der Welt beginnen Straßenbauarbeiter gerade, eine auf diesem Planet wohl einzigartige Passage zu bauen:Eine Autobahn komplett aus Eis. Fahrer aus ganz Nordamerika machen sich auf den langen Weg nach Yellowknife in Kanada, um mit risikoreichen Transporten übers gefrorene Meer schnelles Geld zu machen. Für jede Ladung, die sie heil durch das ewige Eis bringen, erhalten sie bis zu 2000 US-Dollar. Diejenigen also, die den kalten Temperaturen und Schneestürmen trotzen, können in nur acht Wochen einen Jahreslohn verdienen. Doch müssen sich die Fahrer beeilen, ehe der Frühling anbricht und ihnen die Straße unter den LKWs wegschmilzt. Hugh Rowland ist einer der erfahrensten Trucker auf den Eisstraßen Kanadas. Er startet mit einer Flotte aus vier LKWs von Kelwona in British Columbia. Seine Fahrer sind Rick Yemm, Drew Sherwood und Todd White. Die beiden letztgenannten sind völlige Neulinge auf dem Eis und nach 2250 Kilometern wird sich zeigen, ob es klug war, sich für diesen Job zu melden.
