Synopsis

A glacial winter has set in. Bill and Hans, two unlucky prospectors and a battered dog sled, try to make it home. Walking through a desolate snowy valley, exhausted and with empty hands, they have no room for mistakes left. When one of the dogs can’t pull anymore and food starts to run short, the pillars of their loyalty begin to crumble.
