It started with tremors, aftershocks of an event that no one was left to report on. Then the snow came, slow and steady, and it didn't stop. Day by day, inch by inch, everything disappeared beneath a crushing mass so deep that only the tops of the tallest trees remained. Saved by some fluke of elevation and wind patterns, Peter's cabin was spared while the rest of the world drowned beneath an ocean of solid water. Or so he thought. Driven to the brink of insanity by terrible isolation, he survives long enough to see the skies clear and the sun return. As the snow melts, it reveals an almost alien world, a barely recognizable landscape littered with the remnants of civilization. Together with a handful of survivors, Peter sets out to discover the cause of the event that broke humanity's hold on the world, and to learn whether it will strike again.
