✦ Synopsis

A Survival Horror
Terror on a small scale.
Peter Bennett works for the local authorities and during the winter months takes to the roads in a purpose built gritting machine and snow scraper to tackle the harsh Scottish December. It's Christmas Eve and the fifty year old has never opened any gifts with his wife on Christmas morning due to the long hours over the festive period. He is determined this will be the one.
Tonight, Danny Jamieson is his 'second man', an eighteen year old with the unflappable attitude that Peter once had. He is there to help in the ever worsening conditions. A call from the police will throw them into a confrontation with the coming snow storm, the wind is increasing, drifts from the surrounding moorlands are inevitable.
As visibility decreases, Peter and Danny will discover worse things than the snow-bound carriageway. There are creatures in the snow, and they are out to feed.
Danny wants to fight, Peter wants to flee. The biting cold is too much for Peter.
Trapped by a drift, they can't go back, they can't go forward. The horror is upon them and they quickly realise they must fight or die.
And to save a town, they may well have to do both.
