During a winter fishing festival tragedy, young Fritz plunges into the icy depths of a lake. Meanwhile, the elusive Mouse King, a serial killer haunting the dim alleys of Montreal, continues to evade law enforcement. His grisly hallmark? Each victim is found with a live mouse in their mouth. Amidst this turmoil, a prostitute haunted by her past and the disappearance of her brother seeks redemption. A corrupt police officer, grappling with his missing niece and a string of increasingly gruesome murders, adds to the chaos. In this reimagining of Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann's enchanting tale 'The Nutcracker and the Mouse King,' a family scarred by tragedy is thrust back into the spotlight years later, raising doubts about the chilling events surrounding Fritz's vanishing act on the frozen lake.
