A mysterious death sets Gestur on a path into darkness.

On the wind-scoured coast of 19th-century Iceland, the sea gives — and the sea takes.

When a night of strange, green-tinted fog rolls in from the waves, the quiet life of a remote farm shatters. Shapes move in the mist — some familiar, others impossibly strange — and by morning, grief hangs heavy over the land.

Bjarni, the farm’s devout master, retreats into silence and guilt. His wife, Sigfríður, is haunted by the belief that something older than memory has stirred in the deep. The village dismisses her fears, clinging to faith and tradition, but Sigfríður refuses to let the truth drown.

She turns to Gestur, a young and unconventional priest whose knowledge of Icelandic folklore and forbidden rites has made him an outsider. Drawn into a mystery where faith falters and superstition runs deep, Gestur finds himself in the path of forces that defy both God and man.

In a land where winter never loosens its grip and the ocean keeps its own counsel, some answers must be sought — even if they demand a price.
