Thirteen-year-old Leni is battered by the ebb and flow of her parents' passionate, stormy relationship, but they will build a new life. He believes that those distant lands will be good for them. His only dream is a home where he can feel he belongs. Her mother, Cora, is ready to do anything for the man she loves, even to follow him into the unknown.

At first, Alaska is like her prayers coming true. However, as winter begins to show its face, everything is plunged into darkness, and the Allbright family begins to shake as Ernt's psychology deteriorates further. Now the dangers outside their huts pale in comparison to the dangers inside. In this desolate world under the snow, where nights last eighteen hours, Leni and her mother realize the truth: They are alone and there is no one to save them, except themselves...
