A snowstorm traps secrets in a remote lodge.

A wealthy art collector is found dead, and the storm keeps the guests trapped.

Evelyn Cartwright art dealer

Miles Thornton lodge handyman

Clara Donovan retired psychologist

Jack McKenzie local artist

Each guest holds a secret, and one of them is a killer.

Evelyn argued with the victim earlier, raising tensions over an art sale.

The library door showed signs of forced entry, and the victim's key is missing.

Jack's paintbrush, matching a stain near the body, implicates him.

Miles claimed he was fixing a pipe, but Clara heard him mention the library.

Evelyn's debts reveal a desperate need for a sale the victim refused.

Clara noted Jack's nervousness around the victim, hinting at a rivalry.

A note found near the body warns someone to stay away from the collection.

The guest book shows a pattern of the same eight guests, then nothing.

Who among them had the motive? Who is the killer hiding in plain sight?
