Sam Cooper was a rugged southern gentleman from Tupelo,
Mississippi. After Sam's father died suddenly, Sam and his wife
Necee, inherited, the struggling hand-me-down farm. To keep the
family farm from bankruptcy, along with his personal finances, Sam
went to the North Slope and began working in a remote Inupiat
village, as an engineer. Ten years later, he found himself still
working in the Eskimo villages and away from a wife, who had begun
to feel the sting of loneliness too deep, and was becoming
resentful. After a year of working on the Slope and living in the
construction camps, Sam developed a double life and personality.
Every year Sam promised Necee he would come home and leave the
Alaska life behind, never making good on his promises, until it was
a little too late. After an encounter with a beautiful Athabascan
native girl named Layla, Sams life changed forever.
Sam came to Alaska by invitation from his friend, Matt Healey.
Matt was a young looking, sixty-year old Project Manager from
Miami, Florida, who was married to Amy, a woman he never wanted to
marry and had resented all their married life. After thirty-nine
years of marriage, Matt's secret life on the Slope began to
unravel, with plenty of help from the psychotic office manager,
Delaney Delingfield, and the only woman Matt ever loved, McKenna
Hayes.
Delaney Delingfield was trouble with a capital T. Delaney slept
with the upper crust of Gold Coast Oil and Gas, and used sexual
blackmail to keep her job on the North Slope, where she made plenty
of money to keep up her mischievous lifestyle, and evil games.
Delaney had no self-esteem, no morals, and no conscience. She made
the life of the people she worked with hell. During her first night
at Camp Kinsey, in Kaktovik, Delaney met an attractive, racist
Eskimo, by the name of Grey Antooguk. Together, their plans and
schemes revealed many of the secrets the employees had in the
village and in their personal lives.
Grey Antooguk was a black, evil cloud over the village of
Kaktovik. When Reed Shaw arrived with her husband Colton, the
assistant Project Manager from Texas, Grey lost his heart and his
mind. Reed was the only white person that Grey Antooguk ever wanted
to befriend, and demanded to have. With Delaney's help and spying
eyes, together they cooked up a plan for the Eskimo outlaw to have
the white woman with hair the color of the sunset.
Colton Shaw was the only man on the job that remotely appeared to
have any moral character. He brought his wife on all the jobs and
was allowed this favor because of his work expertise. Colton made
plans for the Kaktovik job to be his last, so he and his wife could
have a normal life back in Texas. One night in the village changed
these plans forever.
Brice Garrett, with his good looks and great smile, played the
North Slope adultery field with Amelia Brighton, the new cook at
Camp Kinsey, and Lauren Beckett, the Italian payroll clerk. After
Brice's unfaithful wife Natalie, who lived in Seattle, found out
that her husband was a little more than "just involved" with
Amelia, Delaney and a jealous Lauren crushed the two with a
malicious hand.
Amelia Brighton was a beautiful, petite blonde, who was hired as
the new cook at Camp Kinsey. Amelia, with her good looks, belonged
anywhere but the "construction adult playground." After a horrific
sexual injustice was done to Amelia, Brice became her best friend
and lover in camp. It looked like he was going to become her
husband until Delaney Delingfield got involved, and changed three
peoples lives for the worst.
Mark Jones, known as "Nevada" by his Slope friends and his
Saturday night poker buddies, had his fair share of mishaps on the
job and in his personal life. Gambling away thousands of dollars in
weekly poker games, and cruising pornography websites on the
company dollar, Nevada finally came to terms with his addictions in
a way no one ever wishes, eve
