In the harsh winter of 1978, the world seemed on the brink of collapse. Snow blanketed the land, some even said hell froze over. But in a small village nestled at the foot of the Karkonosze Mountains, Second Lieutenant Jan Rys finally enjoys Christmas with his loved ones after a long time.
Their peaceful holiday is shattered when a fierce winter storm isolates the village, and the discovery of a young girl's body raises fears of a killer among them. As they confront the crime, old grudges, buried fears, and long-hidden secrets resurface.
Can an inexperienced policeman like Jan Rys solve the mystery and track down the murderer? And is there any truth to the chilling legend whispered by the villagers about a demon of frost and death known as Mara?
Forty years later, as police from the X-Files reopen the case, they summon the retired Jan Rys for questioning, stirring up old demons that should have stayed buried.
