When snow isolates East Ridge
Pasts are revealed
Acquaintances become friends
And friends lovers
Rivals become ruthless
Stalkers murderous
And human nature is exposed

When the remote settlement of East Ridge in the South Island of New Zealand is isolated during a snowstorm, Renee and Tyler take in three travellers. Without electricity or mobile phone contact and with all the roads around closed, the five are completely cut off from the world. There, they begin to bond and help one another with problems in their lives.
