description: Four old university friends reunite for a hiking trip in the Scandinavian wilderness of the Arctic Circle. No longer young men they have little left in common and tensions rise as they struggle to connect. Frustrated and tired they take a shortcut that turns their hike into a nightmare that could cost them their lives.Lost hungry and surrounded by forest untouched for millennia they stumble across an isolated old house. Inside they find the macabre remains of old rites and pagan sacrifices; ancient artefacts and unidentifiable bones. This place of dark ritual is home to a bestial predator that is still alive in the ancient forest. And now theyre the prey.As the four friends struggle for salvation they discover that death doesnt come easy among these ancient trees...
