Even the darkest journey must come to an end.
Three years ago, Lelle's daughter went missing in a remote part of Northern Sweden. Lelle has spent the intervening summers driving the Silver Road under the midnight sun, frantically searching for his lost daughter. Meanwhile, seventeen-year-old Meja arrives in town hoping for a fresh start. She is the same age as Lelle's daughter was - a girl on the brink of adulthood. For Meja, there are dangers to be found in this isolated place.
As the days darken, Lelle and Meja's lives are intertwined in ways, both haunting and tragic, that they could never have imagined.
