It’s a chill, dark night out in the woods in Alberta when Kharis (Sheena Kaine) decides to walk home by herself.

Not long after, a surveyor is attacked and killed in the woods. They won’t be the last to die.
Coal company Wec has closed a deal to strip mine tribal land. Kharis was an outspoken opponent of their plans and her death is believed to be their doing. Was the death of their surveyor retribution for hers? Or is something more primal turning the snow red? That’s what local sheriff Mary...
