Un contenitore mancante di un virus letale. Un tecnico di laboratorio che sanguina dagli occhi. Toni Gallo, direttore della sicurezza di una società di ricerca medica scozzese, sa di avere dei problemi, ma non ha idea dell'incubo che sta per arrivare.
Mentre la vigilia di Natale si scatena una bufera di neve dal nord, diverse persone si riuniscono in una remota casa di famiglia. Stanley Oxenford, direttore della società di ricerca, punta tutto sul farmaco che sta sviluppando per combattere il virus, ma non è l'unico: I suoi figli, venuti a trascorrere il Natale, hanno gli occhi puntati sul denaro che ne deriverà.
Toni Gallo, costretta a dimettersi dal dipartimento di polizia in disgrazia, si sta giocando la carriera per mantenere il farmaco al sicuro; un giornalista della televisione locale, deciso a fare carriera, ha fiutato la storia, anche se deve distorcere i fatti per raccontarla; e un violento trio di teppisti sta per rubarlo per un cliente già in attesa - anche se ciò che il cliente ha in mente è qualcosa che li sconvolgerà tutti.
Mentre la tempesta si aggrava, le scintille emotive - gelosie, sfiducia, attrazione sessuale, rivalità - divampano; segreti disperati vengono rivelati; emergono traditori nascosti ed eroi inaspettati...

Work Description
A missing canister of a deadly virus. A lab technician bleeding from the eyes. Toni Gallo, the security director of a Scottish medical research firm, knows she has problems, but she has no idea of the nightmare to come.
As a Christmas Eve blizzard whips out of the north, several people converge on a remote family house. Stanley Oxenford, the research company’s director, has everything riding on the drug he is developing to fight the virus – but he isn’t the only one: His grown children, who have come to spend Christmas, have their eyes on the money it will bring.
Toni Gallo, forced to resign from the police department in disgrace, is betting her career on keeping the drug safe; a local television reporter, determined to move up, has sniffed the story, even if he has to bend the facts to tell it; and a violent trio of thugs is on its way to steal it for a client already waiting – though what the client really has in mind is something that will shock them all.
As the storm worsens, the emotional sparks – jealousies, distrust, sexual attraction, rivalries – crackle; desperate secrets are revealed; hidden traitors and unexpected heroes emerge…
