While under investigation for an accidental shooting, a gay black homicide detective from Philadelphia heads to a rural Pennsylvanian ski resort for a much-needed bit of stress relief. Unfortunately, he arrives during a torrential downpour only to discover that the resort owner is a white supremacist, who may or may not resemble a certain ex-president. Because of the horrendous weather outside, leaving is not an option. Also because of the weather, the resort is mostly empty, except for the staff, the owner, the owner's family, one long-time resident, and some hikers needing respite.

The characters are a combination of black, white, gay, straight, male, female, transgender, cisgender, Asian, Indian, Jewish, Christian, immigrant, non-immigrant, young and old, and as the tension rises between each of these characters, someone is ultimately murdered. The detective, realizing that he might be next, decides to take it on himself to solve the murder. What becomes clear, above all else, is that each of these characters has a privilege that the others lack: male privilege, white privilege, straight privilege, professional privilege, and so on. Can the detective break through the walls of bigotry, misogyny, racism, homophobia, transphobia, sexism, and other forms of hatred that plague this resort? Or will the killer keep getting away with their crimes?
