In the winter, an alpine resort wonderland. In the summer, an adventurous, outdoorsy get away.
For Lorraine Davies, it's just home.
A small resort town squished between two mountains in the Rockies, you'd think nothing would happen to a strong headed and anxious seventeen year old girl.
But when something from her past mysteriously reappears, bringing some unfinished business, Lorraine realises somethings up. Something super natural.
She will have to dig into the past of the little paradise town, do some good old sleuthing and with the help of her rag tag group of friends, maybe just pull it off.
Lorraine will have to use all her limited detective skills to find out what's happening to her little home town before it's too late.
Five friends, one is a killer.
On fall break, twenty year old Eliza Goodchild sets off with four of her college friends for a remote cabin in Aspen, Colorado. When a blizzard strikes without warning, their SUV skids off an embankment and disappears into a wooded ravine. In the whiteout, they get lost and find themselves in a frigid wilderness where every wrong move can spell certain death. In their struggle to survive, they learn one of them is a killer. Everyone has secrets and motives, but when the killer claims a second victim, they realize all of them are targets in an icy twisted plot to get away with the perfect murder, or should we say, murders.
