About the series

In a remote Icelandic town, a man's body is discovered in the middle of a violent snowstorm. Cut off from the rest of the country by the weather, the town's police chief, Andri Ólafsson, must investigate the murder with limited resources and no way to get outside help. As the storm traps everyone inside, the investigation begins to uncover long-buried secrets among the locals. With every new clue, Andri realizes that the crime is connected to the town's past—and that the danger may be much closer than anyone expects.
