The new owners return it to the man who sold them the house, along with a muddied childs shoe with a name written on the sole: Salvor. The man is baffled; they never knew anyone called that. Shortly after the phone rings - its the nursing home where his mother, an Alzheimers patient, lives. Shes suffered a heart attack and the doctors dont expect her to live much longer. The nurse asks him to let his sister, Salvör, know as well. Their mother has been asking for her. THE SECOND TRACKS TWO MISSING COUPLES Jóhanna is a member of a search and rescue team in Höfn and shes searching for two couples from Reykjavik. Their phones last location has been pinpointed as the road leading up into the highlands.

More troubling, Johanna senses her team is being tracked out in the snow. A THIRD FROM BEYOND THE GRAVE? Hjörvar works at the Stokksnes Radar Station in the highlands. He is alone when the phone connected to the gate rings. Its the first time its done so since he began working there five months ago.
