Three friends have purchased a dilapidated house in the
remote Icelandic village of Hesteyri in the Westfjords.
When they arrive in the wintery off-season to start doing
renovations to make it into a guesthouse, they find the
village deserted and the house with no modern conveniences.
Since they'll only be there for a week, they figure they
can get by on what provisions they've brought along. But
will they be able to survive the abnormal and eerie events
that start occurring after their arrival?
At the same time, in Isafjordur, a psychologist is asked to
help the police by profiling the perpetrator of a school
vandalism that closely resembles one from 60 years ago.
When he's then called in to investigate an elderly woman's
suicide, he's shocked to find the note she left mentions
his son, who disappeared three years ago. Upon further
investigation, he learns the woman attended the school that
was vandalized 60 years ago. Also linked to that earlier
case is one of the doctor's current patients, while other
students from that time have died horrible deaths. What is
the connection between the 60-year-old event, his current
cases and his vanished son? As he continues to piece
together the clues of the past with those of the present,
he finds he must suspend realistic beliefs and accept the
unlikely premise of ethereal entities, which eventually
leads him to the rundown house in the isolated village of
Hesteyri.
