Jakob Oftebro
A Swedish action thriller set in a post-apocalyptic world torn apart by war. During a long, harsh winter, six soldiers embark on a covert mission across a frozen archipelago, risking their lives to transport a mysterious package that could end the war. As they enter hostile enemy territory, they have no idea what dangers lie ahead or who - if anyone - they can trust. But for speed skater turned soldier Caroline Edh, the mission is about something else entirely.
