Saiva (Michelle Yeoh), a woman living under a curse, and Anja (Michelle Krusiec), her adopted daughter, are in a remote land far from civilization where they believe they will be safe. Saiva is the sole survivor of an indigenous tribe of reindeer herders, who were slaughtered by a troop of marauding soldiers. After the massacre, Saiva leads the soldiers to their death on a glacier to avenge the death of Ivar, the only man she ever loved.
The two women struggle to survive, living off the scarce prey they can kill. One day a figure appears on the horizon and collapses. Despite her fears and doubts, Saiva takes him in and nurses him back from the brink of death. Loki (Sean Bean), the fugitive, recovers and settles in with the two women as the snow arrives and the long winter nights close in. Saiva and Anja compete for his attention. As the passion between Loki and Anja deepens, they tell Saiva the heartbreaking news that they intend to leave her to start a new life together. She is devastated.
As the sea begins to freeze over, Loki and Anja prepare for the long journey South to Loki''''''''''''''''s village. Saiva retreats into a tense silence. At the moment the lovers are about to leave, she acts with terrifying and horrific consequences. A dark and tragic epic tale played out against the harsh beauty of the Arctic Tundra.
