When a mysterious tunnel opens into their bedroom, the shadows of a dark underworld creep into the lives of Icelandic orphans, Petra and Emil. Their curiosity lures them into an eerie realm where humans are spellbound and stripped of free will. Unaware of the present danger, Emil makes a dire mistake.
