A few years ago, an incident occurred. A few scientists had conducted an experiment on a child who had an unknown disease, hoping to cure the child. After a few weeks of the child seeming to be fine, they brought him to school. Little did they know, they only made the disease worse. Children at the school had started to disappear, and had started to spread the disease to children outside the school. Over a thousand children had disappeared on that one single day, no one knew how it happened. Except for the scientists, which is where I come in.

During winter break, a retreat welcomes 20 students from a nearby city school into Evergreen, a small friendly mountain town known for it's scenic views and cozy inns sought after for the vacation vibe.

On a hike, a group of students wander out to a nearby grotto where they discover a plethora of flowers. Entranced by their beauty, they decide to take some back with them. Within hours of this event, one of their chaperones falls ill. She becomes extremely irritable and erratic with everyone she encounters in town. Soon enough, other townspeople begin to fall ill with similar symptoms and this sends a wave of panic over the town and its inhabitants. The local sheriff decides to place a quarantine on the town to avoid new people from becoming affected and preventing those who are ill from leaving and possibly spreading the mysterious malady. It seems no one from the outside world is aware of what is happening and because people are succumbing to this mysterious ailment, there is no one making it down the mountain safe enough to reach someone for help. In the news, a huge storm is forecasted, thus the kids must decide whether to forge their potential fate or take the trip down.
