A journalist arrives in the remote City of Kars an the Turkish border. Kars is a troubled place - there is a suicide epidemic among its young women, Islamists are poised to win the local elections, and the head of the intelligence service is viciously effective. When a blizzard cuts off the outside world, the stage is set for a terrible and desperate act against the backdrop of the ongoing conflict between East and West.
