High in the Rocky Mountains, winter has closed in the week before Christmas. The first big storm of the season has covered the town of Oresville in a beautiful but perhaps deadly shite blanket of snow.

Deputy Phoebe Korneal is determined to again prove her detective skills to Sheriff Joe and the eclectic characters of Green County, Colorado.
