In the frozen peaks of the Swiss Alps, Count Karlstein plots to abandon his two orphaned nieces in a remote hunting lodge. His prey: the Demon Huntsman and his pack of ghostly hounds, who will rip the girls to shreds. With no one to save them, the girls must outwit their uncle's macabre scheme and escape the lodge before the Huntsman comes calling. In a race against time, they'll have to use every ounce of their courage and cunning to survive the night. But the Demon Huntsman is always watching, his baying hounds growing ever closer.
