Benoit Blanc and his partner Phillip travel to a top-rated ski resort for a much-needed vacation, but Blanc finds himself uncontrollably drawn into another mystery involving the other patrons, to the chagrin of his partner, who just wants a normal vacation with him. Isolated in the cold up on a snowy mountain, and secretly investigating away from Phillip's prying eyes, Blanc once again finds himself a player in a story of blackmail, revenge, and maybe even murder, as the guests at this ski resort may not be total strangers after all.
