Plot Summary

The town of Barrow, Alaska prepares for the annual month-long polar night. A stranger arrives from a large ship and sabotages the town’s communications and transports. As Barrow’s sheriff, Eben Oleson, investigates the sabotage, he learns that his estranged wife, Stella, missed the last plane out of town and must stay for the month. That night, a band of vampires led by Marlow, attacks and slaughters most of the townspeople, including Eben’s grandmother Helen. Eben, his wife and brother, and seven other survivors evade the vampires and take shelter in a boarded-up house with a hidden attic.

In the police station holding cell, Marlow finds the stranger, who believes the vampires will “turn” him as a reward for his help. However, Marlow snaps his neck. When the vampires torture a survivor to bait out the rest, Eben takes the opportunity to save a resident named John, who was hiding underneath a hut. However, Eben is horrified to see that John has turned and reluctantly kills him in self-defense. Meanwhile, Isaac, who has dementia, leaves the attic. As his son Wilson runs out into the open after him, both are killed. 18 days later, a blizzard hits the town, causing a whiteout.

The group goes to the general store for supplies but gets stranded after the blizzard abruptly ends. They head for the station while Eben creates a diversion. He lures the vampires to his grandmother’s greenhouse and uses an ultraviolet light fixture to severely burn Marlow’s lover, Iris, forcing him to mercy-kill her. Eben is aided by Beau, the town snowplow operator, who kills many vampires with his tractor. When he crashes, Beau attempts a suicide bombing to kill the remaining vampires. However, Beau and the vampires survive the explosion, and Marlow crushes his head. On Day 27, Stella and Eben see the deputy.
