In a secluded, snow-covered village, a young boy resides with his elderly grandmother, cherishing their traditional way of life. However, the ever-changing snow and ice pose a significant threat, as they melt faster each year. Tragically, while out hunting, the boy's world is turned upside down when the sea-ice collapses, leaving him stranded in the treacherous Arctic tundra. Meanwhile, a young girl navigates the challenges of a new school, desperately clinging to the hope that her father's new job at an oil company will secure their future and prevent them from ever having to move again. However, as time passes, her father's behavior becomes increasingly peculiar and secretive, raising concerns. When their paths cross in a fateful moment, the girl's world collides with the boy's, and they are forced to embark on a desperate search for survival and the truth. Together, they face the harsh realities of their predicament, braving the elements and confronting the dark secrets that lie ahead. Their journey is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of friendship in the face of adversity.
