Captivated by the lure of sudden wealth, the quiet rural lives of two brothers erupt into conflicts of greed, paranoia and distrust when over $4 million in cash is discovered at the remote site of a downed small airplane. Their simple plan to retain the money while avoiding detection opens a Pandora's box when the fear of getting caught triggers panicked behavior and leads to virulent consequences.
A quiet, simmering desperation radiates from every performance as a pile of found cash turns neighbors into paranoid enemies. This slow-burn thriller captures how easily a modest conscience dissolves when faced with a windfall in the frozen woods.
