Synopsis:

Sandy Tremont has always tried to give her family everything. But as the sky darkens over the Adirondacks and a heavy snowfall looms, an escaped murderer with the power to take it all away draws close. In her isolated home in the shadowy woods, Sandy prepares dinner after a fight with her daughter, Ivy. Upstairs, the fifteen-year-old — smart, brave, and with every reason to be angry tonight — keeps her distance from her mother.

Sandy’s husband, Ben, a wilderness guide, arrives late to find a home simmering with unease. Nearby, two desperate men on the run make their way through the fading light, bloodstained and determined to leave no loose ends or witnesses. After almost twenty years as prison cellmates, they have become a deadly team: Harlan the muscle, Nick the mind and will. As they approach a secluded house and look through its windows to see a cozy domestic scene, Nick knows that here he will find what he’s looking for…before he disappears forever. Opening the door to the Tremont home, Nick brings not only a legacy of terror but a secret that threatens to drag Sandy with him into the darkness.

Comments:

There are some pretty unlikable characters in this intense psychological thriller. But all of the characters are well developed and relatively realistic. Susie Berneis voices these characters distinctly and appropriately. Her performance is excellent. The story is complete with a satisfying but somewhat weird ending.

Rating: 4 out of 5
