Harri is a lieutenant colonel in the Estonian army embarking on
missions to Iraq and Afghanistan. He is divorced and only sees his
10-year old son on holidays from time to time. Struggling with the
guilt of not being there for his estranged son, Harri decides to make
up for lost time by going to an adventurous father-son winter trip to
an island where he used to go with his father as a boy. Due to the
slow queue in the harbor, Harri decides to take the quicker way — a
local ice road over the frozen sea. While arguing with his ex-wife on
the phone, Harri loses the tracks and an accident occurs. The car
falls through the ice into the cold water.
