Full synopsis

Hank Mitchell lives in rural Minnesota with his wife Sarah and works at a local mill, maintaining a quiet life alongside his brother Jacob and their friend Lou. During a winter outing, the three men stumble upon a crashed plane hidden in the snow and discover a duffel bag filled with millions in cash. Hank urges caution while Jacob and Lou push for secrecy, and the group agrees to conceal the money until spring. Tension rises immediately as Hank brings Sarah into the secret, and she begins analyzing the risks and hidden consequences of keeping the funds. As paranoia spreads, small mistakes and mistrust begin to fracture the fragile agreement between the men, while the discovery attracts increasing suspicion from the local sheriff and unexpected outside interest that threatens to expose everything.
