Synopsis

It’s January 30, 1951, and perhaps what is the worst winter storm in Tennessee’s history is burying the state under snow and ice. Roads have been shut down, and people are without power. As the storm rages, Bertha and Hank, an older white couple, huddle in their shuttered barbecue restaurant around a kerosene lantern when two young people, a white girl and a Black man, enter. The values and compassion of Bertha and Hank are put to the test when a deputy sheriff arrives, hunting for something—or someone.
