Driving alone through a frozen Scottish wilderness, heavily pregnant and running on exhaustion, Lizzy only wants to make it to safety. When her phone signal cuts out mid-call to her brother and the storm swallows the road, she knows she's in trouble. She wakes to distant voices-and then to warmth: a fire, soup, and a smiling couple who insist she's safe. But safety has rules. The front door is locked from the outside. Ava's gentle stories don't quite add up. Tom's watchful silences feel loaded. And when Lizzy finds a room filled with baby things-and a hidden journal referencing the last girl-she realises this refuge is anything but accidental. Trapped by the relentless blizzard, Lizzy plays grateful guest while uncovering evidence of other missing women, and a plan that was never about saving her life-but claiming her child. As the storm finally begins to break, violence erupts, secrets spill, and Lizzy is forced into a desperate fight for survival amid ice, fire, and blood. She survives. Her baby lives. But danger doesn't always stay buried in the snow-and some stories don't end when the storm passes.
