Plot Summary: For 30 days every winter, the isolated town of Barrow,
Alaska is plunged into a state of complete darkness. It's a bitter time when
most of the inhabitants head south. This winter, a mysterious group of strangers
appear: bloodthirsty vampires, ready to take advantage of the uninterrupted
darkness to feed on the residents remaining in town. Barrow's Sheriff Eben (Josh
Hartnett), his estranged wife Stella (Melissa George), and an ever-shrinking
group of survivors must do anything they can to last until daylight in Columbia
Pictures' "30 Days of Night."
