Paladin (Richard Boone) is one of four people trapped in a remote cabin during a blinding snowstorm. The other three are an orphan girl named Cassandra (Jean Engstrom), an aging and wounded lawman named McKendrick (Allyn Joslyn), and McKendrick's prisoner, a wily gang leader named Curley Ashburne (Royal Dano). Convinced that he can manipulate his way to freedom, Ashburne begins to psychologically "play" the other three people, one against the other. Naturally, Paladin won't swallow the bait--but what about the other two? ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
