An expert at sleight of hand and with a keen eye for identifying charlatans and tricksters, our story begins as Harry has fallen on hard times in recent years, professionally and ethically losing his way. He’s resorted to making his living as a fake medium and fraudulent ghost hunter, conducting séances for unsuspecting families who think their lives have been made a misery by ghostly mischief making. Harry’s duplicitous lifestyle has also had serious consequences when after leading a séance for a tragic soldier a young man commits suicide on the doorstep of Harry’s home. A couple of months later, Harry is offered the chance to investigate the haunting of a local MP’s home as the case threatens to ruin the politician’s reputation. With the prospects of leading his political party, Edward Curtis can ill-afford the scandal as his wife Grace begins to hallucinate and act bizarrely and very much out of character as she believes their family home to be haunted. There’s a possibility Grace may be committed to an asylum in scandalous circumstances if Harry doesn’t take on the investigation. Ghosts from Harry’s past influence his decision to take the case and he begins to think it might be time to take a new path. Together with the Curtis family maid, Sarah Grey, whose own mother has fallen prey to con artist mediums in the past, their detection and investigative skills complement one another and they make a formidable partnership. Smart, driven and open-minded, Sarah is a strong-minded woman who can handle herself when unravelling the mysteries behind the hauntings, which are seriously affecting Grace’s health and well-being. Harry also calls on the services of his old friend, Albert, during the investigation. An African pharmacist with a sideline in voodoo con-artistry, Albert has a keen interest in medical and scientific discoveries, which Harry exploits to the maximum. Journalist Vernon Wall also finds himself in Harry’s orbit. Cynical and hard-bitten, although clever at winning the trust of the people he’s interviewing, Vernon is keen to learn about Harry’s techniques and sensing a political scandal sets out to inveigle his way into his life by extracting information from Sarah.

简介:一架客机原本要从巴黎至纽约,但飞机刚飞过美国领空不久,意外随即发生,所有乘客随着飞机被劫持至北极。一群劫机者迫使这架班机坠毁在阿拉斯加的雪山群峰中。这显然绝非一般的劫机事件。杭特博士,挖掘到传说中的致命武器-特斯拉激光,搭乘了这架班机,他此行目的是护卫这个能在瞬间以意志力毁灭万物的致命武器赴美,随行人士在这场劫机事件不幸丧生,他现在绝不能让歹徒夺走特斯拉激光,更要防止它被引爆而引发地球灭亡的浩劫。杭特博士和数名生还者必须接受这项严酷的挑战,因为若不是拥有特斯拉激光,美国绝对不会来救他们;但也是因为拥有激光,他们无可选择地成为国际恐怖份子追杀的目标。这是一场在绝地里斗智斗力的开始,钓住华盛顿,逃过恐怖份子追杀…他们无所不用其极,只为求生及挽救一场世纪大灾难.。 简评:一架喷射机在飞越美国领空时,一个伪装的持枪逃犯要挟持飞机,不仅乘客被杀死,飞机的压力调整器也被破坏,喷射机迅速坠毁在阿拉斯加一座覆满白雪的山头,听起来很像911的另一个版本。可本片意不在此,数名生还者如何在冰天雪地中活下来,并找出一条生路,才是它的重点。信念,对亲人的挂念,生存的渴望,《极地重生》里的基文斯可以熬过西伯利亚的严寒,上万公里的跋涉,被追赶的恐惧,饥渴难忍的痛苦,不也是靠这些么?
