This unnerving psychological thriller is film noir with a difference. Set in the nightless Arctic summer, clinical brightness replaces moody shadows as a pair of city cops travel to a rural town to solve a murder. The pressures of the case and the relentless daylight cause one detective to develop debilitating insomnia.
