Sníh v Idlewoodu není jen krásný. Tlumené ticho dusí každý zvuk, stopy ve sněhu se objevují a mizí, a Theo má stále silnější pocit, že ji někdo sleduje. Měla strávit svátky v horském sídle svého snoubence. Jenže místo rodinného tepla nachází chladnou nedůvěru, varovné zprávy a krvavé stopy na bílé pláni. Každý krok v závěji se mění v ozvěnu strachu a stopy kolem její chaty dokazují, že v noci není nikdy sama. Pod zasněženou fasádou luxusu číhá příšera. A až krev znovu zbarví sníh, bude už pozdě na útěk. Mrazivý thriller, v němž sníh dusí, chlad proniká až do kostí a každá stopa může znamenat smrt.

Zatímco se Emma snaží znovu navázat kontakt se svou starou rodinou a udržet pohromadě tu novou, začíná si uvědomovat, že věci, které celé ty roky nechávali nevyslovené, je znovu ohrožují.
