Late at night, in the snow, four students come across the body of a dead young girl. Twenty-five years later, police launch a "cold case" investigation into the unsolved murder, giving the friends the opportunity to clear their names once and for all. Until one of them dies in a suspicious house fire and another dies in a burglary gone wrong. It seems that someone is always seeking their own righteousness. If the other two want to avoid becoming the next victim, they must find out for themselves what really happened out there in the snow.
