A brutal, high-octane revenge thriller set against the Finnish frontier during WWII, driven by primal vengeance and relentless pursuit across a hostile landscape.

Returning to the house where his family was brutally murdered during the war, "the man who refuses to die" dismantles it, loads it on a truck, and is determined to rebuild it somewhere safe in their honor. When the commander who killed his family comes back hellbent on finishing the job, a relentless, eye-popping cross-country chase ensues.
