Synopsis:

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.

Set amidst the frozen ice fields of Barrow, Alaska, Andrew Okpeaha MacLean's debut feature film explores the nature of conscience in the aftermath of a fatal accident that nearly tears apart a close-knit community of native villagers. When Qalli (Josiah Patkotak) and Aivaaq (Frank Qutuq Irelan) return from a seal hunt with the news that their friend James (John Miller) fell into the sea, the entire town mobilizes to find the missing youth.

Filmed on location in the close-knit community of Barrow, Alaska, this debut feature from its native son Andrew Okpeaha MacLean skillfully embeds a simple story within a complex, transitioning culture. So when three 17-year-old boys head out on a seal hunt, and only two return, the fallout strains bonds far deeper than those of the two survivors.
