In 1845, an ill-fated Arctic expedition leaves no trace of what happened to its commander and crew... until now.

In 1845, British explorer, Sir John Franklin, embarked on an expedition to the Arctic. Franklin and his crew of 128 men were never heard from again. Newly discovered clues found at the bottom of the sea may finally tell the world what happened.
