Barb (Emma Thompson) is a recently widowed, grief-stricken fisherwoman who finds herself lost in the icy Minnesota wilderness during a blizzard. Stopping for help at a remote cabin, she inadvertently stumbles upon a terrifying scene: a young woman (Laurel Marsden) has been kidnapped by a desperate, armed couple (Judy Greer, Marc Menchaca). Isolated, with no phone service and a relentless storm closing in, Barb quickly realises she is the captive’s only hope for survival and must do whatever it takes to rescue her.
Two-time Oscar-winner Emma Thompson delivers an intense, against-type performance in a role unlike any other she’s played, complete with an impressive Minnesotan accent (think Fargo). This gripping action-thriller weaves a story of ordinary people in extraordinary peril, highlighting the quiet strength of an unlikely heroine whose kindness and determination become her greatest weapons as she attempts to outwit ruthless opponents and save a life.
