When the snow came

After the snow comes the silence.
After the silence comes the girl.

Melissa disappears in the wilderness and returns days later - bloodied, frozen, changed.

Some think she's cursed.
Some think she's a prophet.

Shauna thinks she's Jackie.

As hunger deepens and belief fractures the group, rituals begin. The Bone Tree grows. The woods whisper.

They thought surviving the crash was the worst part.

They were wrong.
