Ray and Renee Marack live on a farm in a small town called Immaculate in Minnesota along with their two sons, Ethan and Jacob. Ethan and Jacob are nothing alike, total opposites in both looks and in personality. Ethan is the favored son of Ray. Ray is not a comfortable person to look at while Renee is quite beautiful and always draws a lot of male attention everywhere she goes in Immaculate.

Ray and Renee were high school sweethearts. After high school Ray went off to fight a war while Renee headed off to college. Ray was taken prisoner and tortured. Meanwhile, after her mother died, Renee returned home to Immaculate to help her father run the family's farm, her dreams of completing college having come to an abrupt end. But that was all in the past. Now, ten years later, they are still living in Immaculate, struggling financially to make ends meet and still living with a long buried secret.

On Christmas Eve of 1981 a massive snowfront hits the town of Immaculate. With the fierce snow, howling winds and bitter cold temperatures the Marack's are stranded in their home with no contact to the outside world. With no power and phone lines down, secrets from the past come back to haunt them and madness reigns on the Marak farm.
