For the students of Eastbrook High, what began as a December snow fall quickly becomes a threatening winter storm, and school is dismissed for the day. Six familiar strangers are the only students remaining as the outdoor conditions worsen and the doors are locked. The lurking danger and personal conflicts are intermixed with the excitement and endless possibilities of having the entire school to themselves. An impromptu talent show and culinary class feast ensue, and a frozen knock from outside the school brings a whole new element to the evening!
