Storyline

Based on a bestselling novel by German writer Thomas Willmann, the picture revolves around Greider, an American of Austrian descent who turns up in the remote mountain village that was his ancestors’ home for generations.

The villagers offer the stranger shelter for the winter in return for a generous payment. Little do they suspect that he is aware of a dark secret harboured by the community and is there to seek revenge.
