About The Seven

Staring vacantly from the porch of the secluded cabin and into the depths of the wintery woodland that surrounds him, Clark Halshaw has failed. What's more, he knows it. His entire life seemingly imploding in an instant. The repercussions catastrophic across the board, from his business, to his mental health and finally his marriage. After all, that’s what this weekend was all about. One last push. A final valiant effort to rekindle the flame between Emily and himself. A chance, at last, for the Halshaws to focus solely on themselves and nothing more as they bask in the isolation afforded by the mountainous Scottish Highlands. Nobody for miles and severed from civilisation completely. Or so they thought. Their peace quickly interrupted as the once gentle snowfall soon evolves into the worst blizzard in decades, engulfing the mountain and bringing with it a sudden pounding on the cabin door. Five strangers desperately seeking refuge from the rapidly declining conditions. Suddenly faced with quite the dilemma, the Halshaws offer the small group shelter from the storm. A minor inconvenience and nothing more. That is until one of the group goes missing. Thought to have been abducted as fingers are pointed and paranoia begins to consume the remaining occupants of the cabin. Is a murderer among the group? Or is the real threat outside the cabin? Either way, what might have started out as a romantic weekend getaway for Clark and Emily soon turns into a desperate fight for survival. Trust nobody. Suspect everyone.
