A steam locomotive pulls a ramshackle string of carriages through the blazing heat of the Australian desert. One of the wagons is a refrigerated cooler used for transporting animal carcasses from the outback abattoirs to the markets in the city. Inside this otherwise empty cooler, a trapped railway worker keeps a grim journal, writing on the walls a detailed log of his gruesome decline as he slowly succumbs to the cold – hoping that his first-hand account of hypothermic death will be of use to science.
