When a catastrophic blizzard strands wilderness guide Claire Winters at an isolated luxury lodge with six wealthy guests, an anonymous threat and a cache of hidden photographs reveal that every person present is tied to the suspicious 1992 death of a woman named Katherine Reed—a death Claire’s late sheriff father was pressured to rule an accident.

Alongside Archer Reed, the victim’s nephew, Claire uncovers her father’s concealed journal, a secret ritual chamber, and evidence that the original ‘accident’ masked a murder committed by a hidden occult society.

As guests are attacked one by one and the cabin itself seems to turn hostile, Claire and Archer race to expose the person orchestrating the reunion and to close what an old blood ritual left dangerously open.
