Publisher's Synopsis
As a blizzard rages on Christmas Eve, several people converge on a remote family house. Stanley Oxenford, director of a pharmaceutical research company, has everything riding on a drug he is developing to fight a lethal virus. Several others are interested in his success too: his children, at home for Christmas with their offspring, have their eyes on the money he will make; Toni Gallo, head of his security team, is betting her career on keeping it safe; an ambitious local television reporter sniffs a story; and a violent trio of thugs is on its way to steal it. As the group is laid under siege by the worsening storm, jealousies, distrust, sexual attraction and hidden rivalries boil to the fore, uncovering dark secrets.
