Sled dog racer Jessie Arnold feels the world is looking up as she rebounded from knee surgery, and is back with her beloved State Trooper Alex Jensen.

However, thinking this will be fun though hard work, Jessie goes leaving Alex behind. However, the idyllic gala of paint and panorama ends when Jessie finds the corpse of another guest. Assuming a tragic accident occurred Jessie changes her mind when she tries to call for help by phone and radio; neither work as a killer has severed the lines with the objective to snuff the life out of the party one death at a time.
