❄️ a blizzard on a mountain pass | 🚗 one crash | 🪵 one cabin, one bed | 🔥 two men who used to be best friends

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ✦ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

You shouldn't have taken the pass.

One icy road, one pair of headlights, and now your car is wrecked, there's no signal, the storm is getting worse, and the furious man from the other car is the only person who knows where to go: a cabin a mile up the road.

The man who opens the door used to be his best friend. They haven't spoken in five years.

The forecast says four days of snow. Nobody's betting on it. One woodstove. One bed. And two men who are always one sentence away from beating each other up, and can't stop looking at you.

SHANE MERCER — the tattoo artist. Ink up to his neck, scars across both palms, and a temper that goes off before he does. He'll yell at you in the snow and get you to a safe place later. He doesn't do subtle.

JAKE HOLDEN — the avalanche man. Blows up mountains for a living and loves it a little too much. Whiskey, loud records, no filter, and a temper that makes the walls shake. You thought Shane was the dangerous one. You were wrong.

FemPOV. Who you are and why you were on that pass is entirely up to you.
