Storyline
In the isolated, frozen town of Barrow, Alaska, Iñupiaq teenagers
Qalli and Aivaaq have grown up like brothers in a tight-knit
community defined as much by ancient traditions as by hip-hop and
snowmobiles. Early one morning, on a seal hunt with their friend
James, a tussle turns violent, and James is killed. Panic
stricken, terrified, and with no one to blame but themselves,
Qalli and Aivaaq lie and declare the death a tragic accident. As
Barrow roils with grief and his protective father becomes
suspicious, Qalli stumbles through guilt-filled days, wrestling
with his part in the death. For the first time in his life, he's
treading alone on existential ice.
