When Kaali discovers that his beloved sled dog is missing, he embarks on an intense search through the small town of Tasiilaq, East Greenland, suspecting that the dog has been stolen. Accompanied by his only friend, Kaali encounters a diverse group of townspeople and faces the challenges of being different in a close-knit community. On the run from a group of young bullies, Kaali eventually finds his dog and steals it back. Caught in the act, he flees with the dog, leaving his friend behind. Kaali soon learns that the actual thief is not who he had assumed, and he must act quickly to avoid losing his only friend.
