Soon the perils outside pale in comparison to threats from within. But as winter approaches and darkness descends on Alaska, Ernt’s fragile mental state deteriorates and the family begins to fracture.

Her mother, Cora, will do anything and go anywhere for the man she loves, even if it means following him into the unknown.
