    Synopsis

    Set amidst the snowdrifts of a desolate prairie winter, a weather-beaten lodge provides refuge for a disparate group of locals and travelers. Unlikely bonds form as each individual finds a way to move past isolation, freeing the lodge — and themselves — of the memories that haunt them.
