Far North
In the arctic, as Saiva (Michelle Yeoh) is being born, a shaman declares that she is evil and will bring harm to all who become involved with her. Saiva is cast out of her tribe of herders and grows up to live a nomadic existence with Anja (Michelle Krusiec), a young woman she adopts as an infant. Then Loki (Sean Bean), an injured and starving soldier, stumbles into their isolated lives. The women nurse him back to health, but treachery, violence and doom await them all.
