Two men are trapped in a small log cabin during a blizzard for 4 days. No power, no phone so talk is all they have to while away the hours. The owner of the log cabin is Nathan, an author and former journalist, while the other is Collin, an architect or is he? As the story unfolds, Nathan starts to find out this visitor is more than just a snowbound waif, but a face from his past. He is confronted with a past he has hidden from the world and painfully begins to unravel his secrets. The story ends with his realisation of who Collin is but also how Collin had sacrificed himself for Nathan so many years before. Collin starts off as a bizzar personality but as the story unfolds, his actions become his method to allow Nathan to live. A story with an interesting twist not revealed right up until the end.
