Summary

Two Flat Earthers travel to Antarctica to find the edge of the world… When Honey’s sister dies she is left with a well-thumbed copy of 'The Worst Journey in the World', a yearning for the South Pole and endless questions. Christopher knows to question everything. He believes that the truth is out there— but it’s being hidden from us by the people in power. Can they survive discovering what really lies at the ends of the Earth? In the wildest and harshest place on the planet, their unconventional love story soon turns into a nightmarish fever dream.
