- Synopsis
- Their mission should have been simple. Investigate why the supply runs to the Russian mining town of Pyramiden have stopped. But for Anders Ersdal, the Arctic territory’s senior investigator, nothing is simple anymore. Getting his life back on track after his wife’s murder, he’s set out with their two grief-struck teenagers for some better-late-than-never bonding.
  
  Arriving in Pyramiden, the trio (with a visiting documentary team in tow) find a ghost town abandoned in an instant. But novelty soon gives way to small but crucial setbacks. Piercing sounds ring out through the valley, immobilizing not just the town’s electronics but their own communications lines too. Overland travel is impossible. Their isolation is absolute. And as migraines cripple the group, they soon learn why the town was evacuated.
  
  The longer they spend in the town, the harder they find it to recollect their own pasts, as a high-frequency signal from deep in the mountain extracts their darkest shames and manifests the memories in physical form. With their secrets literally hunting them, the memories of each victim flood into the survivors in a sanity- testing onslaught. As personal demons and betrayals are laid bare, so too are the connections they all have to the wife’s murder — a death each believe they were responsible for — but only one truly was.
  
  With the signal gaining strength and their own senses dimming with every new influx of memory, the survivors descend into the mine shaft underworld. Their plan: to set the coal seam on fire and knock out the signal. But the signal, having learned from their memories just as it did the Russians’ before them, takes a new shape: the form of everyone they ever loved and left behind, dragging them deeper and deeper down...
