In a Norwegian town lost in the mountains, a quiet, peaceful life flows on. It suits Roy, who was born and raised here—until at his doorstep appears a troublemaker: his younger brother Karl, successful, enterprising, bold. He arrives with his new wife—a rather strange woman—with grand plans to build a hotel to revive the town. But first, on closer inspection, Karl’s plans are far from noble; second, Roy realizes he can’t help but be drawn to his brother’s wife; and third, the dark secrets of the past, seemingly buried forever, begin to rise to the surface… Roy’s quiet world collapses, and soon he will have to choose between loyalty to his family and a future he never dared to believe in.
