On Christmas Eve, tragedy strikes when a snow slide claims the lives of many, including Jo's love interest, Plet. The narrative reflects on the bond between Jo and his older partner, who deeply cares for him, and their dreams of wealth and happiness against a backdrop of nature's fierce unpredictability.
