[wind blowing] It's nighttime in late January 1991. A thick carpet of snow covers the ground in the wild, untamed north of Manitoba, Canada, smothering the greenery beneath it and muffling all sound. The vast, empty landscape is pristine, without a single sign of human habitation. The only source of light comes from a full moon, suspended like a crystal ball in the black expanse of a sky pinpricked by thousands of glittering stars. The moon's pale, ghostly glow glints off a frozen river, which snakes across the land like a silver ribbon. It is bordered by dense, dark spruce trees dusted with white flakes, impassive sentinels casting their long, eerie shadows. It is agonizingly cold and utterly still.
