In a remote mountain village, winter has descended early, blanketing the landscape in silence and snow. Jace, a former wildlife photographer turned recluse, navigates his isolated life, only occasionally venturing out to capture glimpses of the elusive wildlife that draw him there. His solitude is interrupted when a group of scientists arrives in the village, led by the charismatic Dr. Reynolds. They are conducting research on the region's wolves, which have been rapidly disappearing. Jace reluctantly agrees to be their local guide, lured by the promise of unraveling the mystery that could revive his stalled career. As they delve deeper into the wilderness, an unnerving discovery is made: signs of an unknown predator far more dangerous than any wolf.

The small team finds itself not only investigating the disappearance of wildlife but also what seems to be a dark legend coming to life. Lara, a young zoologist, senses something amiss in Jace's distant and cagey demeanor, suspecting he knows more than he lets on. Tensions rise under the flickering shadows of long nights, and trust within the group wavers. Their expedition turns from scientific inquiry to survival as they realize they are being hunted by something primal and silent, with eyes glowing in the darkness. Cut off from civilization and with no help in sight, each member must confront their fears and unravel hidden truths amid the relentless pursuit through the icy forest. Tensions reach a breaking point as night falls and the line between hunter and prey blurs in their fight for survival.
