She wants him to accompany her to a cabin at Lake Arrowhead that was owned by her estranged husband, Swiss national ski instructor and aspiring not too good actor Kurt Weibel, before they married, after which, in his poor financial state, she assumed the mortgage. She wants him evicted from the cabin where he is living - she having legal papers to dispossess him - before she begins divorce proceedings. She wants Stuart along more for protection than anything. Also accompanying them will be her biographer, Ken Dexter, so that Ken and Crystal won't lose any of their work time. Ken not only makes it clear to Stuart in private that he does not want to go, but for undisclosed reasons does not want him to get involved. Stuart also further learns directly from the horse's mouth that Janice Dexter, Ken's wife, believes Crystal has some evil hold over her husband, Janice who wants Crystal out of their lives so that Ken can work on what was supposed to be his first novel after spending his career thus far solely on biographies. Upon arrival at the cabin, Stuart gets a slightly different perspective of the marriage from Kurt. Due to a snowstorm and the only road being blocked, those at the cabin are temporarily cut off from the rest of the world, they who not only include Stuart, Crystal, Ken and Kurt, but out of circumstance Janice and Marie Lang, Kurt's longtime companion who he left when he met and married Crystal. There is an explosive atmosphere in the cabin in their confinement, Stuart who has to find out what is truly going on with this collective in sifting through what is the truth and what are lies among all the stories before something tragic happens.
