Life is different when you live in twenty-four-hour darkness. But for Piuyuq, a teenager in Pond Inlet, Nunavut, the pressing darkness and bone-chilling winter winds are the least of her worries. Daniella, a stranger from Toronto, has arrived in town carrying a silver box and news of Piuyuq's grandfather, a man who had left Nunavut decades before. But how did Daniella find him after all these years? And why did she have to come all the way to Pond Inlet to reveal the truth? Daniella's unexpected arrival and the shocking revelation she brings prompts Piuyuq and her community to deal with demons they thought long buried.
