Bear Island

Arctic winter. A lone helicopter’s blades cutting the silence. Three travelers step onto a frozen island, their stories tangled like fishing line. By dawn the wind carries the scent of diesel and something else—blood on snow. A thriller where every step echoes Hitchcock by way of a 70s paperback cover.
