Spoilers ahead
**Under the Alaskan permafrost, ancient organic materials have rotted for thousands of years. ** A family sets out to find a Christmas tree, and their dog runs off into the snow. The moment the ice splits, a gas explosion erupts beneath the surface, a fissure opens, and an avalanche roars through the white landscape, sending the ground into a jagged ravine that separates the parents from the children. The father urges the pair to climb toward the summit and wait for rescue, while the storm begins to brew on the horizon. The younger child suggests they should keep moving toward a safer place, a plan born of necessity as the weather worsens and visibility drops.
