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. His fate hangs in the balance-damnation or death.


Petra confronts the cold queen who hexed her brother, begging on his behalf. Unmoved, the queen offers terms, demanding the delivery of three perilously located treasures. Petra agrees at once, venturing into the unknown. If she triumphs, Emil will live free.
