Logline: When a masked serial killer attacks a ski resort , a young woman who suffers from xylophobia must traverse through the snowy woods to survive and save her friends.

We meet our main protagonist TINA as a child who gets lost in the woods during a camping trip with her parents which causes her to develop her fear of the woods. Later on as a junior college student, Tina gets invited to a wedding by her friend JAN at a resort. The only problem? The resort is surrounded by woods. Reluctantly, Tina agrees to go where she meets MARK who works at the resort who helps her settle in. At the same time, the masked KABUKI KILLER breaks free from the asylum nearby and crashes the wedding and kills the power.

The Kabuki Killer attacks the wedding causing Tina and Jan to be separated amongst the crowd. Mark finds Tina and goes out to find Jan in her room while evading the Kabuki Killer. Jan meets up with PAUL who lost his wife to the killer where they both agree to work together to survive. Mark and Tina end up in the power generator room where they are intercepted by Jan and Paul. Paul destroys the generator but is killed by the Kabuki Killer. Jan, Tina, and Mark escape back to Jan’s room where they decide in order to survive they must walk through the woods to the lake shack where there’s a telephone. Reluctantly, Tina agrees, allowing them to cover her eyes with a towel as they escape the room into the woods.

As Tina, Mark, and Jan traverse through the woods, Jan gets caught in a trap and gets suspended in the air by a net. Tina is powerless in fear as she stares into the woods as Jan is murdered brutally and Mark is dragged away. After Tina internalizes, her safety concern and grief for Mark overcome her fear of the woods. Tina saves Mark and they head to the shack where Mark calls the cops as Tina lures the Kabuki Killer onto the frozen lake. Tina tricks the killer into smashing the ice causing the killer to fall into the water as she escapes. After comforting Tina and Mark, the cops check out the broken ice and can’t find the body of the killer.
