First Snow Plot Summary
What happens in First Snow from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 15 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 5-minute read.
Spoilers ahead
The story begins in a tranquil present-day park, where a woman (Alia Shawkat) takes a leisurely stroll with her dog. Suddenly, the dog’s digging leads to a shocking discovery: the remains of two adult skeletons twisted together in their final embrace. This startling revelation sets a stark tone for the tale that unfolds.
We are transported back to 1820 Oregon, where Otis “Cookie” Figowitz, played by John Magaro, is slaving away as the cook for a ragtag crew of trappers working for a prosperous fur company. Cookie, with his gentle demeanor, finds himself constantly at odds with his loud and intimidating fellow trappers, making his culinary journey all the more challenging.
