Winter arrives in Minneapolis with snowfall and a park filled with snowmen. Detectives Gino and Magozzi discover something terrible beneath the packed snow. Two police officers lie dead inside the frozen figures. Sheriff Iris Rikker uncovers another shocking find in the northern countryside a day later. The detectives must travel through Minnesota's worst blizzard in years to connect these disturbing cases. The investigation reveals that the snowmen conceal more than bodies. Hidden secrets emerge as the cases develop, and the detectives learn that multiple parties harbor dangerous truths. The winter landscape becomes a backdrop for uncovering deceptions that run deeper than the snow itself.
