Set around an Alaskan disappearance case, this installment of the popular crime-drama anthology stars Academy Award winner Jodie Foster and American actress and professional boxer Kali Reis in the lead detective roles.

“When the long winter night falls in Ennis, Alaska, the eight men who operate the Tsalal Arctic Research Station vanish without a trace,” reads the official synopsis. “To solve the case, Detectives Liz Danvers (Foster) and Evangeline Navarro (Reis) will have to confront the darkness they carry in themselves, and dig into the haunted truths that lie buried under the eternal ice.”
