She searches for help and comes across a secluded cabin.With the panicked girl banging on her door, Tracey is launched into combat mode, awakening her inner demons. Though she suffers from extreme PTSD, Tracey is skilled in combat, making her a deadly adversary-perhaps too deadly. As a snowstorm hammers down, the women must work together to save Alicia's friends from their unhinged captors.
