WOLF VALLEY

Haunted by her past, criminal investigator Lena Ekström returns to isolated fjord town Wolf Valley, where she is plunged into the tangled mystery of a missing young activist.

Against the dramatic backdrop of the fjord, Lena must follow the trail through a tightknit, distrustful community. As tensions rise, long-buried secrets resurface, and the weather closes in, Lena faces her own fears and forges unexpected new connections to uncover the sinister truth.

A chilling Nordic Noir eco-thriller about the wild darkness within us all.
