Samantha Preston came to the wilderness to escape her past. Donning a costume and assuming a new name, Nancy Smith, she thought she could lay low until it was safe to return home. Paranoia and isolation being her only friends, “Nancy” knew about the expected blizzard before the sheriff found his way to her cabin to inform her there was a mandatory evacuation. Now forced into the town’s ancient hotel, “Nancy” has no idea that whether she stays to ride out the blizzard or evacuates to town, it will be the fight of her life.
