But, of course, that room has been locked for years, as many moons ago it was the sight of three, horrific and demonic impossible deaths. That is until one unthinking member of the party offers the room at the top of the stairs. The snow coming down so hard there are all stuck together for the night, but the house being full there are apparently no spare rooms to offer the Willings.

When Gisela slips in the snow storm and breaks her ankle, they are forced to seek help at the nearest house they can find in this remote landscape. Sliding along on perilously icy mountainside roads, there car breaks down and they take to their skis to find help at the nearest town. Psychologist, and consultant to the DA’S office Basil Willing, and his wife Gisela are travelling in New England for a skiing holiday when a vicious snow storm cut’s off their journey.
