As winter tightens its grip on the isolated settlement of Dove River in 1867, a man is brutally murdered and a 17-year-old boy disappears. Tracks leaving the dead man’s cabin lead north towards the tundra beyond. Strangers are drawn to the township—journalists, Hudson’s Bay Company men, trappers, traders—but do they want to solve the crime or exploit it?
