Journalist and writer Graham Hancock travels the globe hunting for evidence of mysterious, lost civilizations dating back to the last Ice Age. He attempts to prove that a climatic event 12,000 years ago wiped out an entire civilization far more sophisticated than the simple hunter-gatherers some archaeologists believe lived at that time.

The Earth has descended into a new ice age of -45 degrees Celsius. At the evacuation center, dozens of people who have fled are living on the edge of their lives. In a world where civilization has collapsed, money and status have no meaning and every blanket and canned food is sought after, values have changed drastically. Humanity is faced with an extreme situation where only those with a strong desire to live will survive. Kimura Shoko, a genius con artist with two previous criminal convictions, is determined to do whatever it takes to survive in this new world. For some reason, the shelter she arrives at values family over everything. As the "mother" of a "masquerade family", she faces harsh days. Behind Shoko's explosive desire to survive is a desire to see her son again.

Professor Alice Roberts journeys 40,000 years back in time on the trail of the great beasts of the Ice Age. This was the last time that giants like mammoths, woolly rhinos, and sabre-tooth cats ruled the Earth and Alice attempts to reconstruct their lives in incredible detail.

Biologist Liz Bonnin and geologist Martin Pepper set out on a global expedition to answer the most thought-provoking questions in earth science today. Throughout history, such geologic events as volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, tectonic plate motion, earthquakes, and asteroid impacts have continually reshaped Earth's surface, spreading chaos across the planet. By performing experiments, making observations in the field, and consulting expert scientists, the eight-part series works to uncover Earth's immeasurable capacity to create and destroy.

In the year 2025, huge beasts from beyond the galaxy attacked Earth. In the war that followed, humanity fought back with a giant robot named Yukio, piloted by Tetsuo Yabusame. As the massive alien swarm closed in on humanity's homeworld, Tetsuo and the Earth Defense Force deployed for the final battle with the invading horde. They lost… Yukio was destroyed in battle and Tetsuo survived in an escape pod. After eight years in cold sleep, the escape pod finally lands back on Earth. But when Tetsuo emerges he finds a world in ruins, entirely frozen beneath a blanket of ice and snow—snowball Earth! What happened to humanity, how did the planet freeze over, and will Tetsuo be able to keep his last promise to Yukio?

The series unravels the hidden secrets of the Ice Age and how it created the world we now live in, chronicling the rise of the mega beasts, from woolly mammoths to sabre-tooth cats, and the David and Goliath story of Neanderthals versus Homo Sapiens and the ultimate irony that global warming could trigger the next Ice Age.
