A lonely man…

After Overgård crashes his plane in a remote corner of the Arctic, he must rely on his finely honed survival skills to keep the fires burning until help arrives. He sets up a shelter in the broken fuselage of his plane and lives on a diet of raw trout from a nearby frozen lake. But then one day something happens and staying put is no longer an option.

Joe Penna’s feature debut pits Mads Mikkelsen against the elements in an intense survival story, shot on location in the frozen grandeur of Iceland’s polar wilderness.
