On a dark January night, Charlie and his mother, Heidi, are driving through the winding backroads of Cumbria, determined to make their annual ‘second Christmas’ at his grandparents’ cottage. Despite a severe government weather warning for the approaching Storm Goretti, Heidi, a fiercely stubborn woman with a love of 80s rock, is determined not to miss the family gathering.
As the storm begins to brew, she pulls over for a brief stop before the weather turns.
But they are not alone. Something hungry lives in the snow, and it has their scent.
