“THE WEIGHT of Night” takes place in a land sculpted by glaciers, where the forest is on fire. The thick smoke chokes the mountain air and casts a twilight glow over the imposing mountains and vistas of Glacier National Park. When firefighters are called in to dig fuel line breaks near a small town bordering the park, a crew member unearths a shallow grave containing human remains. The authorities are working around the clock to determine the victim’s true identity, racing the raging fire, when a teenager disappears from a nearby campground. Could the cases be connected? The race is on to fit the pieces together in time.
