Ben Sterling inherits his ancestral home and decides to move there with his family, not knowing about the strange stories that are circulating in the local town about the forest that lies around the ancient oak grove. Once upon a time, the body of Ben's great-great-grandfather was found in it, who, before moving to England, explored the icy expanses of the far North, where, as they say, shamans practiced ancient rituals so that the midnight sun would shine over the snowy desert. Now, three generations later, Ben awakens incredible power and soon the entire area around is in the grip of ice and blizzard. And those who approach the forest will face the most unenviable fate.
