Birk attempts to save his home surrounded by nature. Magna searches for the truth about her father's mysterious disappearance. Their fates will intertwine as they try to solve the mystery of mysterious activities endangering the environment.
Sixteen-year-old Birk was found in the forest as a small boy. He was taken in by Arn, with whom he lives in a forest cabin in northern Norway. The owner of the local power plant wants to buy their land, but the boy has his doubts. Meanwhile, a feisty thirteen-year-old Magna arrives in the nearby town. She is trying to solve the mystery of her father's disappearance. As they start looking for their own identities, Birk and Magna will also uncover a past secret, as well as a conspiracy against the environment.
