The last time Jodie Foster took on the role of a law enforcement officer was 33 years ago. On that occasion, she played Clarice Starling, a rookie FBI agent who was summoned to participate in the search for a serial killer with the help of a sociopathic cannibal psychiatrist named Hannibal Lecter, played by Anthony Hopkins. In 1991, The Silence of the Lambs won the awards for best actor, best actress, and best film at the Oscars. The film, by the late Jonathan Demme, is considered a cult classic and one of the best horror and psychological thrillers in history.

More than three decades later, at 62, the Los Angeles-born actress takes up the mantle as veteran police officer and agent Liz Danvers from Ennis, a fictional remote town in Alaska, who is called to investigate the disappearance of the scientists from an arctic station. At her side she is intimidating state police officer Evangeline Navarro (Kali Reis), and the two will have to work together to find answers in a territory where the winter is brutal, with extreme cold, isolation, and darkness 24 hours a day
