Siglufjordur: an idyllically quiet fishing
village in Northern Iceland, where no one locks
their doors - accessible only via a small
mountain tunnel. Ari Thor Arason: a rookie
policeman on his first posting, far from his
girlfriend in Reykjavik - with a past that he's
unable to leave behind. When a young woman is
found lying half-naked in the snow, bleeding and
unconscious, and a highly esteemed, elderly
writer falls to his death in the local theatre,
Ari is dragged straight into the heart of a
community where he can trust no one, and secrets
and lies are a way of life. An avalanche and
unremitting snowstorms close the mountain pass,
and the 24-hour darkness threatens to push Ari
over the edge, as curtains begin to twitch, and
his investigation becomes increasingly complex,
chilling and personal. Past plays tag with the
present and the claustrophobic tension mounts,
while Ari is thrust ever deeper into his own
darkness - blinded by snow, and with a killer on
the loose.
