Plot

The synopsis reads, " In 2002, a young American couple, Matthew and Naomi, travel to the Arctic mountains of Norway. After pulling over during a snowstorm, they wake up trapped in their SUV, buried underneath layers of snow and ice. As if the stakes aren’t high enough, it is revealed that Naomi is eight months pregnant in their frozen prison. With few resources, a dwindling food supply, and nothing but time, tension, blame and personal secrets bubble to the surface. Matthew and Naomi realize they must work together to survive in a crippling battle against the elements, hypothermia, disturbing hallucinations, and plunging temperatures reaching as low as -30C. Will they all make it out of this alive."

Trailer

The movie trailer presents the first moments of when the couple finds themselves under the ice in a car. Unable to get out and temperatures declining by the minute, the couple can't come to terms about how they are going to get out of this alive. The fact that it says that the narrative is based on real-life events, makes the trailer quite daunting.
