## Plot

It's winter time and Murphy and Kate arrive at a mountain lodge where they are greeted by a woman named Emma. She is happy that they all made it through the ongoing blizzard and is curious why Kate agreed to spend the weekend with Murphy and his college friends. Kate explains that Murphy told her about Jay, a friend who died at their last reunion the year before.

It turns out that Jay's parents, Linda and Frank, own the 'Winter Inn', and that Jay and Emma were a couple. Kate helps Linda with setting the table, then everyone goes to their rooms to change for dinner. Suddenly, the light flickers and there's gun shots. After all guests return to the dining room except for Emma, Kate goes to check on her.

Kate and Murphy enter Emma's room and find that she is dead from being shot in the chest. They identify the murder weapon to be a SlyHunter rifle, which is only used by hunters. Kate and Murphy view the security footage. In one frame, the killer can be seen from the back but he/she is wearing black clothes and can't be identified.

Kate talks to Rohan and Miki. Rohan is scared and says that the reunion is cursed and he never should have come. Kate asks them for their locker keys in order to search them. While Miki's isn't even locked, Rohan claims that his key isn't there and that he must've lost it somehow. Kate finds the key in a checkerboard and in the locker, there's a black coat that looks like the one in the security footage. Kate suspects that Rohan might be the killer, but Miki reveals that Rohan never would've killed Emma because he was in love with her. Rohan explains that Emma had been cheating on Jay with him. Jay had found out so he left in anger, went skiing late - and never returned. Rohan suspects that Frank knew about the affair, which would be motive to murder Emma if he blamed her for his son's death.

Kate and Murphy search Jay's old room and find an old message from Emma suggesting that Jay go see a doctor. According to the message, he had been behaving differently ever since he suffered a concussion at a hockey game. In a suitcase under Jay's bed, Kate finds a letter from Jay to his dad. Jay had found out that Frank was having an affair. Frank enters and asks them to not tell Linda, as she has been unstable for the last year and that she has been on a lot of medication.

While Frank, Linda, Rohan and Miki are all suspects now, Kate and Murphy decide to investigate the possibility that it could have been an outsider. Kate searches the deck as well as the backyard area of the house for clues. Inside the shack, Kate finds a hidden underground tunnel.
