The Canadian Rocky Mountains and their surroundings became an integral part of the gripping story of Nels Coxman, his fight against a powerful cartel, and his unwavering determination to achieve justice. The film was primarily shot in the Kananaskis Valley, famous for its majestic snow-capped peaks, dense evergreen forests, and crystal-clear lakes. These natural beauties create the perfect context for stories of survival and brutal struggle, of cold both external and internal. Fernie, located in British Columbia, became the setting for the film's village scenes. Calm and secluded, this area perfectly conveys the atmosphere of a small Canadian town, contrasting with the violent events unfolding on screen.
