When grieving Barb (Emma Thompson) travels to Lake Hilda to scatter her husband's ashes, she gets lost in the woods of Minnesota during a snowstorm. In a remote log cabin, she makes a gruesome discovery: young Leah (Laurel Marsden) is being held captive by an armed and murderous couple (Judy Greer and Marc Menchaca). Alone, unarmed, and out of cell phone range, Barb must confront them. Cut off from the world and without help, she is the girl's only hope. Dead of Winter is a relentless psychological thriller in which every decision can mean the difference between life and death.
