In Argentine Antarctica's frozen wasteland, Hope City survives under a massive dome—its heat, light, and life maintained by an army of service robots. Once a thriving amusement park destination, the city is now a hub for atomic power production and black-market trade, run by mob boss Ignacio Cabrera. While political factions clamor for independence, a new threat brews among the city's sentient androids, who have their own vision of freedom.
Eliana Gomez, the only female private investigator in Hope City, has no interest in politics—or in the fact that her boyfriend, Diego, works for Cabrera. She's saving every peso she can to escape. But when an aristocrat hires her to protect a volatile personal secret, Eliana is pulled into a deadly web of mob violence, political intrigue, and robotic rebellion.
As factions collide and the city's electricity supply falters, Eliana must navigate backstabbing politicians, violent freedom fighters, a ruthless gangster, and a robot underclass ready to fight for their own liberation. Her loyalties—and her love—are tested as the line between humanity and machine blurs in the ice-bound streets.
With its sharp blend of mob drama, political revolution, and speculative intrigue, Our Lady of the Ice delivers a stylish mystery and dystopian noir with queer and feminist leads.
