Snow Hollow is a small mountain town, an attraction for tourists eager for winter sports. All the silence is disturbed by a violent crime that makes everyone believe that the victim was attacked by a wild animal. The only one who does not believe this variant is the son of the local sheriff, John, a young alcoholic who leads the local police forces behind his father who is on the verge of retirement and with heart problems. Other equally bloody crimes continue to take place, and the fact that John and his colleagues are unable to find the perpetrator causes him to slip down a spiral, aided by his father’s alcohol consumption and medical problems.
