In rural Iceland, a childless couple - with one half played with a quiet intensity by Noomi Rapace (The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo) - exist quietly on their patch of farmland, isolated from the world and from each other. When they discover a strange newborn in their sheep barn, their fear turns to compassion, and they decide to raise her as their own – but sinister forces are determined to return the creature to the wilderness that birthed her.
