Description

In this Little-Red-Riding-Hood-inspired paranormal fairy tale, the roles of prey and predator are blurred. Seventeen-year-old Aiden Young travels to Indiana for his aunt's funeral, where his unfortunate mistake leads to the discovery of the family's supernatural secret. Before the weekend is over, he's trapped by a blizzard in his grandmother's spooky old house in the middle of the woods, along with his superstitious cousin and his manipulating girlfriend. But the fear growing inside the house might prove more dangerous than the storm. And soon, Aiden faces life and death decisions, but he doesn't know whom he can trust or who needs to be saved ... or who might turn into a werewolf.
