Melody is a young girl who is trying to provide for her family by hunting rabbits in the woods. One night Melody dares to enter into the deepest parts of the woods; an area where her mother had warned her never to venture to. But with darkness quickly approaching and devouring the icy grey sky Melody knows her battle against time is drawing closer. As she chases the rabbit deeper into the ever-growing woods her limbs soon begin to ache and Melody eventually gives up on all hope of ever catching the source of food she desires and needs the most. Frightened at disappointing and shaming her family Melody decides to not return home and sleep in the woods for the night and return in the morning with whatever prey she can find. As the icy rain begins to fall, each droplet increasing in size compared to the last, Melody stumbles upon an embankment with eerie log cabin sat isolated and alone. The warmth and security that the log cabin provides begins to lure Melody into a subtle dangerous trap. Famished and cold, Melody does not see the harm in inhabiting the log cabin for the night. If only Melody knew what dangers lurk within the cabin… Then maybe she would have changed her mind on staying the night.
