Spoilers ahead
Bruce is a snowplow driver in a remote Quebec town who faces a fateful night when, after a drunken drive through a fierce snowstorm, he strikes a pedestrian and panics. He hides the body in a snowbank and, in a daze, powers on into the woods, eventually becoming stuck in the cold with no supplies. What begins as a desperate bid to survive becomes a slow immersion into guilt and fear as he tries to figure out what to do next. He abandons any early idea of seeking help, choosing instead to stay near his abandoned snowplow and confront the mounting emotion of his own actions.
