Winter Temperatures Plummet To A Bitter 97 Degrees Below Zero, And Beneath The Permafrost Lie The Fossilized Remains Of Mammoths, Woolly Rhinoceroses, And Other Ice Age Giants. For The Yukaghir, An Indigenous People Of The Taiga, Hunting Sable Is Both An Economic Necessity And A Spiritual Experiencewhere Trusting Dreams And Omens Is As Necessary As Following Animal Tracks.

From The Outset, Things Go Terribly Wrong. The Regional Fur Company, With Ties To Corrupt Public Officials, Proves It Will Stop At Nothing To Maintain Its Monopoly: One Of Willerslevs Yukaghir Business Partners Is Arrested On Spurious Charges Of Poaching And Illegal Trading; Another Drowns Mysteriously. When Police Are Sent To Arrest Him, Willerslev Fears For His Life, And He And A Local Hunter Flee To A Remote Hunting Lodge Even Deeper In The Icy Wilderness. Their Situation Turns Even More Desperate Right Away: They Manage To Kill A Moose But Lose The Meat To Predators And Begin To Starve, Frostbitten And Isolated In The Frozen Taiga.Thus Begins Willerslevs Extraordinary, Chilling Tale Of One Year Living In Exile Among Yukaghir Hunters In The Stark Siberian Taiga Region.
