The film takes place in Barrow, Alaska which is preparing for its annual "30 days of night," a period during the winter when the sun will not be seen. People who don't want to suffer the extended darkness leave for Fairbanks or other parts south. As the town gets ready, The Stranger (Ben Foster), rows ashore from a larger ship, then trudges towards Barrow.  Barrow's sheriff, Eben Oleson (Josh Hartnett) investigates seemingly unrelated and as he does so, he learns that his estranged wife, Stella (Melissa George), who moved out of town awhile ago, missed the last plane out of town and will have to spend the 30 day period in Barrow. The movie unfolds from this point with the introduction of the main characters and subsequent plot development.
