The movie's structure is reminiscent of a twisted road trip across America, where the laws of reality are bent to accommodate the most unsettling and inexplicable tales. First, we find ourselves in the land of the midnight sky, Alaska. A group of friends, eager to experience the Northern Lights, embark on a camping trip in the remote wilderness. As they set up their tents, the camera pans out to reveal a chilling sight: a massive, glowing aurora borealis that appears to be moving, like an otherworldly entity.
