A stunning supernatural thriller set in Siberia, where
a film crew is covering an elusive ghost story about the
Kolyma Highway, a road built on top of the bones of
prisoners of Stalin’s gulag.
Surrounded by barren trees in a snow-covered
wilderness with a dim, dusky sky forever overhead,
Siberia’s Kolyma Highway is 1200 miles of gravel
packed permafrost within driving distance of the
Arctic Circle. A narrow path where drivers face such
challenging conditions as icy surfaces, limited visibility,
and an average temperature of sixty degrees below zero,
fatal car accidents are common. But motorists are not
the only victims of the highway. Known as the Road of
Bones, it is a massive graveyard for the former Soviet
Union’s gulag prisoners. Hundreds of thousands of
people worked to death and left where their bodies fell,
consumed by the frozen elements and plowed beneath
the permafrost road
