Plot[edit]
In December 2004, Russell Core (Jeffrey Wright), a writer who studies wolf behavior, is summoned to the village of Keelut, Alaska by Medora Slone (Riley Keough), who wants him to hunt down the wolves blamed for the disappearance and presumed death of three small children, including Medora's 6-year-old son, Bailey Slone. Core stays at the Slone house, and tries to tell Medora that this type of wolf behavior doesn't happen. Medora says 'It happened to me.' Medora tells him that there is darkness there, and tells him of a hot springs to the north of town, which is the only warm place she's ever known. She also says her husband is away fighting in the war, and that he told her he would never leave her. In the middle of the night, Core wakes and sees Medora scrubbing her skin in the bath. When she is finished, she lays down naked next to Core without saying anything and puts his hand on her neck.
Medora's husband Vernon Slone (Alexander Skarsgård), overseas in Iraq,[2] returns gun fire on Iraqi insurgents. Stationed at a checkpoint when shooting breaks out, Vernon rescues a local woman who is being raped by another American, wounding him with a knife and then handing the bloodied knife to the woman for her to take revenge. Leaving the house, he is caught in an ambush and shot but survives to be sent home. After he is shot, he is being carried to a helicopter to transport him out of the country. He has a flashback of his son, Bailey, and mumbles his name, to which the medic replies that Vernon would be home soon to see him.
In the morning, Core leaves town to track the wolves, and meets an old native woman along the way out of town, Illanaq, who tells him he is going the wrong way, and that Medora 'knows evil'. Core tracks the wolves, finding the hot springs Medora mentioned, and spots a pack of wolves eating their young. Unwilling to shoot them, Core returns to Keelut. At the Slone house, he finds Medora missing and discovers Bailey's frozen, strangled body in the cellar. The police investigate, and native villagers claim Medora is possessed by a wolf-demon called a tournaq.
Vernon's friend and father to another missing child, Cheeon (Julian Black Antelope), meets him at the airport and brings him to police chief Donald Marium (James Badge Dale), Core, and other officers at the morgue. After Marium leaves with Core, Vernon kills the officers and the coroner and takes his son's body. Cheeon builds a coffin, and Vernon buries his son in the snow, just after cutting his own arm and marking his son's body with blood, a Yup'ik burial ritual.
Vernon reads the file and after burning it he goes to visit the witch. She tells him the wolves had come before. She claims no responsibility for what happened. She tells him about the influenza which spread through the village and took the lives of many, with nowhere to bury them with the ground frozen.
Discovering the officers murdered and Bailey's body missing, Marium realizes Vernon is responsible.
Core, remembering the old woman's warning, arrives in Keelut at the same time as the police only to find Illanaq dead. As officers take up position around Cheeon's house, Marium approaches to ask about his involvement with the murders and to give him an opportunity to surrender before they take him in. Cheeon talks about the government's neglect of Keelut and how it has affected their village.[3] He then warns Marium that he will not go peacefully, and as Marium returns to his position with the other officers, Cheeon opens fire on them from a second floor window with a tripod mounted machine gun.[citation needed] The shootout continues, with many officers being wounded and killed. Marium asks another officer to cover him while he tries to enter the house from the rear. As Cheeon continues shooting, Core drags a wounded officer to safety. Cheeon is about to shoot them, when Core yells 'Stop it!' and Cheeon ceases fire for a moment. Meanwhile, Marium sneaks past an entryway trip wire, ascends the steps to the second floor and kills Cheeon, who falls from the window to the front yard.
At an inn outside a tourist mine, where Medora was sighted, Vernon meets John, an elderly hunter who treated him with wolf-oil as a child for his apparent psychopathy. At John's invitation, Vernon takes a mask from the wall. He dons it and kills John, and is shot in the shoulder by the innkeeper as he leaves. He visits Shan, an old friend who is seen snorting a white powder just before Vernon arrives. Shan removes the bullet and Vernon falls asleep.
Core and Marium theorize that Medora killed Bailey to “save him from darkness”. Core believes Medora may have gone to the springs, and he and Marium agree to try to find her before Vernon does. Following Shan's mending of his shoulder, Vernon has a dream of himself and Medora in the hot springs. Upon waking, and overhearing Shan informing the police about Vernon, he kills Shan. Core and Marium fly to the hot springs in a small plane. Examining wolf tracks in the snow, Marium is shot through the neck by an arrow fired by Vernon in the trees, wearing the mask. Hoping to intercept Vernon in the springs, Core finds Medora, and tells her he is coming. Core is shot in the chest by an arrow from Vernon. As Vernon strangles Medora, she pushes the mask off his face, and he releases her. They embrace, and Core falls unconscious.
After Core awakens, Vernon removes the arrow before leaving with Medora. Core crawls outside the cave, encountering a pack of wolves. He is found by a father and son with a snowmobile and brought to their home for care, as Vernon's mother looks on. Vernon and Medora dig up Bailey's grave, and pull the coffin behind them as they trek through the snow. Core wakes up in the hospital, his daughter Amy at his bedside.
