Frozen River

Addie (Melissa Leo) Not long ago, her husband, who was saddled with huge gambling debts, swept away all the family's savings and disappeared, leaving his two young children without care. Faced with this dilemma, Eddie could only grit his teeth and bear it silently. In order for his children to grow up healthily and smoothly, Eddie had to participate in local illegal criminal activities. Although it was full of sin and danger, Eddie could not refuse in the face of high rewards. One day, a woman named Leila (Misty Upham) who was in a similar situation to Eddie found Eddie and begged her to take her to participate in the operation. However, unable to overcome Leila's persistence, Eddie agreed. In this way, two thin women set out on the road. Their mission this time was to cross the frozen St. Lawrence River. In addition to the police, the harsh natural environment was another major threat. Can they successfully complete the task, and how should their lives continue?
