Missy watches the blizzard approach her quaint roadside motel with a mix of emotions - dread for the dangerous conditions it brings, and an intense longing for the warmth her late husband used to provide on cold nights like this. But for better or worse, Missy won't be alone much longer.

Five unexpected guests are headed her way, desperately seeking shelter from the storm: a mortally wounded young man transporting a bag of stolen money, two hired guns hot on his trail with orders to bring the money back, and a young woman and her grandmother on a road trip to put the past behind them, totally unprepared for the perilous detour they're about to take.

The icy roads are treacherous. The neon-red sign is a beacon of safety. But no amount of snow can extinguish this fuse once it's lit - or bury the secrets unearthed in the blast.
