When the frozen body of the prior nurse is unearthed, Nellie suspects the nurse's death and her family's history are connected to a mysterious group that disappeared from the island twenty-four years earlier. As winter closes in, and past and present converge, Nellie's grip on reality loosens. Someone on the island is hell-bent on keeping the mansion's secretssomeone who wants revenge.
