Spoilers ahead
After a deadly virus turns people into zombies, a small band of survivors seeks shelter in a snowbound town, convinced that the threat has vanished. Their relief is short-lived: they soon discover the infected have adapted to the harsh environment, making the danger far more insidious.
Two buses carry the last of the group’s hope as they push toward a supposed safe zone. The first bus is ambushed by the infected, leaving the second bus - carrying the central figures, Jack, Patrick, Emma, and baby Lu - to improvise an escape. As they hide, Emma is bitten, altering the trajectory of everyone’s lives.
