In the remote Arctic Circle of Northern Norway, the gripping tale of Jan Baalsrud, a young resistance fighter, unfolds. He's the sole survivor among twelve resistance fighters who managed to evade the pursuing Germans, but the relentless Gestapo is hot on his trail. Jan's unwavering morality, astonishing strength, and the support of his brave compatriots keep him going. However, his refuge in a mountain cave leads to an unexpected two-week entrapment in a brutal blizzard, dimming his chances of survival. Yet, against all odds, Jan is eventually rescued, though frail, frostbitten, and barely clinging to life. The burning question remains: can he reach neutral Sweden before the Germans catch up to him?
