Plot summary

What is Hold the Dark movie plot?

Here is a short review of "Hold the Dark" movie plot summary.

In December 2004, Russell Core (Jeffrey Wright), a writer who studies wolf behavior, is summoned to the village of Keelut, Alaska by Medora Slone (Riley Keough). Medora wants him to hunt down the wolves blamed for the disappearance of three small children, including her 6-year-old son Bailey (Beckam Crawford). Core stays at her house, and unsuccessfully tries to convince her that this is not wolf behavior. Medora tells him that there is darkness there, and tells him of a hot springs to the north of town, which is the only warm place she's ever known. She also says her husband is away fighting in the war, and that he told her he would never leave her. In the middle of the night, Core wakes and sees Medora scrubbing her skin in the bath. When she is finished, she lays down naked next to Core without saying anything and puts his hand on her neck.
Medora's husband Vernon (Alexander Skarsgård), overseas in Iraq, returns gun fire on Iraqi insurgents. Stationed at a checkpoint when shooting breaks out, Vernon rescues a local woman raped by another American, wounds him with a knife and hands the bloodied knife to the woman. Leaving the house, he is ambushed and shot, but survives. As he is air-lifted away, Vernon mumbles Bailey's name.
In the morning, Core set off to track the wolves, and meets Illanaq (Tantoo Cardinal), an old native woman who tells him he is going the wrong way, and that Medora 'knows evil'. Core finds the hot springs Medora mentioned, and spots a pack of wolves eating their young. Unwilling to shoot them, Core returns to Keelut. At the Slone house, he finds Medora missing and discovers Bailey's frozen, strangled body in the cellar. The police investigate, and native villagers claim Medora is possessed by a wolf-demon called a tournaq.
