Four middle-aged Icelanders take themselves off on a Jeep safari across the lunar wilderness of the interior of their country. Hitting a patch of horrid fog one night, they lose all sense of the road, until they hit something else – something a lot more solid than just fog. They find themselves embedded in the wall of a mysterious farmhouse, in the middle of nowhere, peopled by a crabby old woman who reluctantly puts them up, and her very peculiar male companion. Our heroes try to borrow the farm's Jeep to get back to civilisation, but fail – and therefore spend a second day trying to find the way out, find their bearings, even at times find civility in talking to each other. Slowly, however, as the unusual landscape makes their heads turn and they lose all sense of direction, they realise something much less solid than the wall – even less solid than the fog, perhaps, and purely evil, is also in the area…
