It began as a ski trip, a prize won for one of his mystery novels. Without a plus-1, rather than letting him waste it, his sister invites herself along for some long-overdue bonding.
Then the blizzard strikes. His sister confesses her desire to pen a script for a Lifetime movie. While the storm rages, he prods her to try it. Her story of college-age siblings' descent into lust and tragic obsession is the subplot, collaborating while the blizzard swirls around them.
She guides the story, he pushes her to dig deep to bring her characters to life. Moving from innocence to dark exploitation, examining the dark places inside awakens in them what they breathed into their characters, forcing them to confront the emotional impact of their writing. They push each other on the slopes, smoking pot, growing in the process until forced to confront the dangerous risks they have taken. Can they avoid the tragic mistakes of their characters, or will the passion unearthed within them repeat itself in their lives?
