Rosaire Nicolet, a young and highly regarded international lawyer, is found dead in a hotel room in Iqaluit rented by Lumi, a stripper at the Polar Circle bar. His younger brother Ambroise, whom he loved and envied, tries to find the murderer and discovers the heavy secrets of Rosaire's life along the way: baffling love affairs, latent conflicts of interest, the appetite of many governments for the riches of the Inuit land, and the mystery of a Chinese map found by a sixteenth-century French ancestor. A polynya is a hole that never freezes in the ice.
