action
The unsuccessful writer Fred lives with his wife Elisabeth and their son David in a lonely hut in the mountains. Grumpy Fred is dissatisfied with his life and in poor health, he likes to take his frustration out on his family. The family unexpectedly receives a visit from Fred's younger brother Charlie, his companion Benjie and the young Edna. Charlie was shot, Elisabeth removed the bullet from the man's calf. Since there has been heavy snowfall, the group cannot leave the hut. On the radio, Elisabeth and Fred learn of a robbery on the National Bank in which an employee was killed; the description of the perpetrators who fled fits into Charlie and his companions. Frank loathes his no-good brother, who is also his wife's former lover and David's biological father. The tightness in the hut creates tension between those present.
Charlie is increasingly gaining the boy's trust. The next morning the servant Hank unexpectedly comes to the hut. Elisabeth gets rid of the young man without him knowing of the presence of the criminals. Charlie defends his criminal conduct against David with a story from his childhood and the allegation of constant innocent punishment in the past. When David realizes that Frank has set out to alert the police in the morning, he declares that he is ready to lead his Charlie, Benjie and Edna over the mountain. Edna is left with an injury by the gangsters after an argument with Benjie. When Benjie discovers the road to safety, he wants to murder Charlie. David intervenes, in the scuffle the boy manages to get the revolver and shoot Benjie. In the meantime, Hank has discovered Fred who was frozen in the snow and, after talking to Elisabeth, started chasing the gangsters. In the scuffle with Benjie, David broke a rib and can't go any further. Charlie carries the boy to a small mountain hut and looks after him. When he tries to continue his escape and leaves the hut, he is shot by Hank. Before Charlie dies in the hospital, the criminal confesses to his son that the story from his youth was a lie and that he was never convicted of innocence.
