Synopsis

When a brutal massacre strikes a remote Arctic village, a supernatural hunter answers the call. The locals blame a creature from Inuit legend—the Amarok, a giant wolf said to hunt alone beneath the northern lights.

But as Dexter follows the trail through the snowstorms, he discovers a truth far different from the stories—one that demands a price. Atonement for a sin only he can face.

Some hunts end with a kill.
This one ended with a vow.

And in the endless white, Dexter walks the faint line the Amarok leaves behind—
the frozen trail only he can see.
