Plot
During a Viking raid on a monastery in Normandy in 1050, the raiding party discover a wolf cub behind a locked door which they believed held treasure. As compensation for the absent gold and silver, the vikings take the cub to Norway. By the time the ship reaches the Norwegian coast, all vikings have been killed by the wolf and it escapes into the Norwegian wilderness.
Meanwhile, in the present day Norwegian town of Nybo, 17 year old Thale (Elli Rhiannon Müller Osborne) has recently moved into her new home with her family after her mother Liv (Liv Mjönes) transferred from her former job as a police officer in Oslo, to the local Nybo police force following the death of Thale's father. Thale partially blames her mother for her father's death and doesn't get along well with her stepfather Arthur (Vidar Magnussen). The only person she's still close with and cares for, is her deaf little sister Jenny (Mia Fosshaug Laubacher). While watching a horror movie with her, Thale receives a text from her high school friend Jonas (Sjur Vatne Brean), inviting her for a party in the woods near the bay with the other Nybo youth. Things don't go well at the party and Thale decides to leave early when she spots Jonas talking with Elin (Silje Øksland Krohne), the local mayor's daughter, in the woods by the bay. During their talk, Elin gets attacked by a creature in the dark and is injured. While Jonas backs away in fear, Thale attempts to help Elin, only to get injured herself as the beast slices her shoulder. Elin is dragged screaming into the woods and the local police and paramedics show up to the scene. While Jonas and Thale receive treatment, the police force including Thale's mother Liv and police chief Eilert (Øyvind Brandtzæg) search for Elin, finding only a bloody phone and a big torn-off claw.
The following day all people who attended the party are questioned by the police including Jonas and Thale as key eyewitnesses, however they claim not to know what kind of beast attacked them despite Liv's suspicion that the beast might've been a wolf. In the meantime Elin's mutilated body is found and undergoes an autopsy.
