Synopsis

Nestled in a luxurious, rustic ski chalet high in the French Alps, a corporate retreat for the trendy music app, Snoop, quickly devolves from an idyllic getaway into a terrifying fight for survival. Eight ambitious coworkers, each with a hidden agenda and a stake in a lucrative company buyout, find themselves trapped by a sudden avalanche. With communications cut off and the serene mountain landscape transforming into a claustrophobic prison, old rivalries and resentments simmer to the surface. When one of their number is found dead, and then another, the group realizes a killer is among them. As the blizzard rages and the body count rises, the corporate hierarchy collapses, replaced by a primal struggle for existence. Trust becomes a dangerous gamble as they desperately try to uncover the murderer before they too become victims, stranded in a deadly 'locked-room' mystery where everyone is a suspect and no one is safe.

Critical Reception
