Set in a remote Scottish hunting lodge during a snowstorm, this fast-paced thriller was a real treat. Remie is working her last night shift when a police officer appears at the door and asks to be let in, saying there's been an accident and a prisoner has escaped. Two hours later, another man appears, telling the same story--with the same name. Tension mounts as Remie and a guest try to determine who to trust while the storm rages outside.
