Jeremiah Salinger blames himself. The crash was his fault. He was the only survivor. Now only his daughter, Clara, can put a smile on his face. The depression and the nightmares are closing in. But when he takes Clara to the Bletterbach - a canyon in the Dolomites rich in fossil remains - he overhears by chance a conversation that gives his life renewed focus.

En 1985, durante una terrible tormenta, tres jóvenes son brutalmente asesinados en el Bletterbach, un enorme cañón tirolés cuyos fósiles cuentan la historia del mundo. Treinta años más tarde, el documentalista estadounidense Jeremiah Salinger se instala en la pequeña localidad alpina junto a su mujer y su hija pequeña y, a medida que va conociendo a los habitantes de la comunidad, se obsesiona con ese caso nunca resuelto.

Marlene Wegener is on the run. She has stolen something from her husband, something priceless, irreplaceable. But she doesn't get very far. When her car veers off a bleak midwinter road she takes refuge in the remote home of Simon Keller, a tough mountain man who lives alone with his demons. Here in her high mountain sanctuary, she begins to rekindle a sense of herself: tough, capable, no longer the trophy on a gangster's arm. But Herr Wegener does not know how to forgive, and in his rage he makes a pact with the devil.
