The village of Shepthorne England wasn't being gripped, but rather strangled by a winter's blanket of heavy snow and Arctic temperatures. The trouble began innocently enough with a massive pile-up of autos on frozen roads leading to and from the village. Then, from the sky, a military transport plane with its top secret cargo of devastation crashed down towards the center of the village. Hell was just beginning to touch Shepthorne and its unsuspecting citizens...
Now the military has come in to isolate and retrieve the plane's cargo and any villagers are expendable in order to keep its contents a secret from the rest of the world.
