It's late Autumn of 1950, and in a small mountain lodge in the backwoods of Canada's Quebec province, it's starting to snow. Chris Jordan and his new wife, Mary, are on their honeymoon. Mary's a little worried that they may be snowed in, but Chris is hoping that their honeymoon are going to be extended! Relaxing by the embers of the fire, they are suddenly interrupted by a trapper named Renee, who is delivering a telegram from the nearby village. It's not good news.
