The film opens with a flashback scene in which Edh is in a car with her daughter, Vanja, waiting in a traffic jam. Civilians are attacked by approaching enemies and the pair are forced out of the car. A few years later Edh, now a soldier, is disembarking from a train. A lieutenant drives her to the base through a dangerous neighborhood and strands her there. Edh is attacked by refugees, and manages to fight her way out. Upon arriving at the base, she is taken for a briefing with Colonel Raad and she meets the other soldiers recruited for the special mission: Karimi, Malik, Granvik, and Captain Forsberg. The Colonel explains that the team must cross the ice-covered Stockholm Archipelago on skates and deliver some canisters to a research base, named Ödö, which he says could lead to victory in the war. The team will skate across the ice, as it is too thin for vehicles.
Edh points out that this appears to be a suicide mission, but she is given a reason to try to make it: the chance to be reunited with Vanja, who has been found in a refugee camp. The team leaves as the base is attacked the next day, and is joined by the lieutenant who abandoned Edh earlier, Nylund. Before they can be properly briefed on the mission, Forsberg falls through the thin ice and drowns. Edh jumps in after her, saving the two packages from Forsberg’s backpack but leaving her body behind. The group takes Edh to a house on land, where they warm her and themselves by a fire and Nylund is selected to be their new commander, according to the chain of command. This gets some pushback from Edh as she wonders whose place he took on the mission, as he was a last-minute substitute for an unnamed missing person.
