Forty-somethings Fred and Nel embark on an Arctic cruise with a pair of long-time university friends. What they haven't counted on is the presence of a further journalist friend Heather, and her nemesis, a climate change-denying American oilman called Marvin Ridley.

With a potential superpower conflict over oil also now brewing in the background, Fred and Nel discover that this is a journey to the end of the earth in more ways than one.

Will they make it through the ice and back? Or will things heat up out of control before they know it?

Good behaviour goes on ice, in this darkly comic cruise to the end of the earth, with a diverse set of characters
