A powerful storm traps them in a remote lodge with strangers. Mercy discovers her brother's troubles connect to something far more dangerous. Ancient magical forces threaten to destroy the world itself. The couple must navigate supernatural threats while isolated in the wilderness. Winter creatures and arcane powers work against them.
