A dark, mythologically-tinged survival drama set in the frozen Arctic where a cursed woman and her adopted daughter's fragile isolation is shattered by the arrival of a wounded soldier, leading inexorably toward violence and doom.

In the arctic, as Saiva is being born, a shaman declares that she is evil and will bring harm to all who become involved with her. Saiva is cast out of her tribe of herders and grows up to live a nomadic existence with Anja, a young woman she adopts as an infant. Then Loki, an injured and starving soldier, stumbles into their isolated lives. The women nurse him back to health, but treachery, violence and doom await them all.
