Young heirs to an automotive fortune joyride a priceless prototype while D.U.I., ending in a spectacular fireball. Meggie now has a limp and scars she obsesses over as worse than they are. When she inherits the last asset, a decrepit Victorian lake house and dumping ground for a serial killer, she impulsively speeds to the isolated spot without telling anyone, neither a diner-owner, a female deputy, or good old boy forest ranger, all warning her of the 'blizzard of the century' and young women gone missing in the inhospitable area of dense federal forests and bottomless lakes... When kissing-cousin Zak and brother Lance show up, following the money, three desperate people play cat and killer games in Michigan's harsh, unforgiving Upper Peninsula, battling lust, starvation, and the serial murderer among them in the isolated snowbound lake house, until only two are left standing...for now.
