Snowed in. Cut off. Defenceless.

Marla Lindberg follows an invitation to a remote mountain hotel in the Alps that she would have been better off never accepting. What was planned as a harmless class reunion quickly turns into a murderous psychological game.

Marla suffers from face blindness and cannot recognise people by their appearance - only by their voice and patterns of movement. In a group of old classmates, each of whom is hiding something, she doesn't know who she can trust. Defenceless and trapped in a snowstorm - without internet, without any means of escape - it's not only friends inside the lodge. Someone has lured them there deliberately to bring an old secret to light.

It soon becomes clear: there is only one thing more deadly than leaving the mountain hotel again in the icy blizzard - not doing so…
