2019br. Kornelíus, un poliziotto islandese possente come un troll, che canta musica folkloristica in un coro di donne, trova un cadavere in una solfatara, spellato dal ventre in giù. Mentre cerca una spiegazione per quel delitto associato a uno strano rituale, è anche alle prese con la mafia lituana, a cui deve dei soldi; per estinguere il suo debito, s'impegna a ritrovare due chili di cocaina rubati da un mozzo durante una transazione in mare. Negli stessi giorni, giunge in Islanda il giornalista Jacques Soulniz: quarant'anni dopo aver visitato l'isola con un gruppo di amici, vi fa ritorno con la figlia Rebecca, la sua ribelle Beckie, con la quale cerca di riallacciare un rapporto compromesso. Sin dalle prime tappe, però, il loro soggiorno prende una piega inaspettata: l'uomo è inseguito dalle ombre del suo passato e sembra avere un conto in sospeso con quelle terre misteriose, che hanno in serbo per lui un'implacabile vendetta. Le strade di Kornelíus e Soulniz si incroceranno in un gioco crudele orchestrato dal destino.
