On the shores of a tranquil fjord in Northern Icel&, a man is brutally beaten to death on a bright summer`s night. As the 24-hour light of the arctic summer is transformed into darkness by an ash cloud from a recent volcanic eruption, a young reporter leaves Reykajvik to investigate on her own, unaware that an innocent person`s life hangs in the balance.
