Captured by the Taliban, a Gwich’in soldier confronts memories in the Canadian north he thought he’d left behind. He forges an alliance with a Pashtun family as they escape through treacherous landscapes in a blizzard that is their key to survival. Tapping into a universal need for belonging, and shifting between striking arctic and arid landscapes, director/writer Marie Clements delivers a thriller as poignant as it is pulse-quickening.
