Remake of the 1997 Norwegian film of the same name follows a murder investigation in a town with twenty-four hour sunlight.

ABSTRACT
Based on an earlier screenplay, Insomnia (1997). Seventeen-year old girl Kay Connell is murdered in the Arctic fishing village of Nightmute, Alaska, bringing Los Angeles detectives Will Dormer and Hap Eckhart on the scene to assist the town's understaffed police force with their investigation. Dormer, as it stands, is an officer embroiled in controversy back home, facing an uncertain future following the accidental shooting death of his partner. His immense guilt over his role in the ordeal coupled with stress brought about by his superiors placing him under a microscope leads Dormer to develop a nasty case of insomnia, adding another layer of psychological trouble to an already-muddled affair in a northern town with twenty-four hour summer sunshine.
