Cold Ghost

In the frozen wilderness of northern Alaska, trapper Matt Hager fights through a brutal storm with his sick partner, Cahill, and a valuable load of furs. Bitter from the cold and desperate for escape, Hager begins to see his partner's failing health as an opportunity: if Cahill dies before they reach the doctor, he can claim the fortune and build the warmer life he longs for. What starts as resentment hardens into a calculated murder plan as Hager decides to let the storm do the killing for him. Deliberately slowing the sled and veering from the safest route, Hager leads Cahill deeper into danger while feeding him just enough to keep him alive. Feverish and weak, Cahill grows increasingly suspicious, pleading for help as Hager lies about their location and delays their journey. Against the relentless storm and merciless landscape, this tense survival tale becomes a chilling study of greed, deception, and moral collapse.
