Lucy Kincaid travels west to the Sierra Nevada mountains for a skiing weekend with her ex-cop brother. She needs distance from a painful breakup and finds the perfect escape at a remote lodge without internet, television, or cell service. Other guests include several honeymoon couples seeking their own romantic getaway. The peaceful retreat shatters when Lucy discovers one of the newlyweds dead. An overnight blizzard traps everyone at the lodge with no way to contact the outside world. Lucy's brother suspects murder, but he falls mysteriously ill before he can investigate further. With her brother's life in danger and a killer among the trapped guests, Lucy must use her FBI training to identify which of the honeymooners is actually a predator. The aspiring federal agent faces her most dangerous case yet as she fights to keep herself and her brother alive.
