It's there, by a frozen lake, that she meets him for the first time.

Before long, the pair end up planning a cross-country ski trip together, and Holly can't help but imagine the romantic possibilities ahead. With the help of her best friend Megan who has a penchant for New Age ceremonies and the "I Ching, " Holly begins to create her new life, indeed making her fantasies come true.

And soon a deranged psychopath turns both of their lives upside down in a dangerous, real-life nightmare.
