Strangers, killers, and liars are everywhere.

A devastating ice storm has crippled the sleepy Adirondack hamlet Lizeth Frontenac calls home. There's no power, no phones, no way in or out.

So when a dead man is found on the side of the road, encased in ice, no one in town knows what to make of him. Where did he come from? Who shot him in the gut? Why is he dressed in clothes from another time?

Over the next few days, Lizeth and her sister Hyla take refuge with ten of their neighbors to wait out the storm. Tensions run high as cabin fever kicks in, stirring up old grudges and new conflicts.

So when two of their number vanish into thin air, the sisters don't know who to trust. The only clues are bullet holes in the ice and a stranger in the woods.

A stranger who knows Lizeth, who has all the answers. And a man who connects everyone in unexpected and impossible ways.
