The Great Alone

Alaska, 1974. After returning from the Vietnam War, Ernt Allbright is volatile and unmoored. When he loses another job, he moves his wife, Cora, and thirteen-year-old daughter, Leni, to remote Alaska in search of a fresh start off the grid.

In a rugged frontier community, the Allbrights find resilience, generosity, and the promise of a new beginning. But as winter closes in and darkness takes hold, Ernt’s instability deepens.

Cut off from the outside world, Leni and her mother come to a chilling realization: the greatest danger isn’t the wilderness—it’s inside their own home.
