In anticipation of an extended weekend in the Alps, Marla Lindberg accepts an invitation to a class reunion.
But shortly after arriving, she realizes there’s only one thing more deadly than leaving the secluded mountain hotel at night in the freezing snowstorm: not doing it…
The invitation: Woe to him who receives it…
Marla Lindberg’s memories are crystal clear: the strange message that lured her into an abandoned maternity hospital; the figure that tried to kill her; and the psychopath’s strange, wheezing cough during their life-and-death struggle.
After years of psychotherapy, the highly intelligent young woman learned: These are all false memories. Marla suffers from prosopagnosia. Her brain plays tricks on her in extreme situations when it tries in vain to recognize people by their faces.
When Marla receives the invitation to the class reunion in the Alps, she hopes to reminisce with her former classmates about fond and genuine memories. Upon her arrival at the snow-covered mountain hotel, all rooms are already occupied. Dirty dishes sit on the dining table, the fireplace flickers, but no one is there. Marla begins to search for the others. And then she hears it again. A whistling cough, outside, in the icy darkness…
