Sarah brings her husband and seven-year-old daughter to her family's remote mountain cabin for Christmas. Her mother was supposed to arrive days earlier—but the cabin sits empty and cold. As a historic blizzard seals them in, Sarah discovers footprints in the snow leading to the cabin. Only to the cabin. Not away. That night, her daughter begins talking to someone she calls "the man in the wall." Someone who's been waiting in the dark spaces of this old house. Someone who doesn't like the Christmas lights. The first chapter of a four-part winter nightmare.
