The story follows George Haven as he returns to Centauri VII with his young wife, Louise, only to confront the ghosts of his past centered around the murder of his former partner, Drexell Tolliver. While trying to maintain his powerful persona, Haven is haunted by the thought of Tolliver’s preserved body still visible deep within a glacier, a secret that could ruin him. As tensions rise during a reunion dinner with former associates who are aware of his crime, Louise unexpectedly reveals herself to be Tolliver’s daughter, leading to a suspenseful confrontation.
