THE RETREAT

Maeve is an acclaimed dancer, but an abusive relationship ending in tragedy has prompted her to take her career in a new direction. Erin Moon narrates as Maeve goes to an artists' mountain retreat in winter to strategize her future. Demurely portrayed Maeve meets saucy Anna, with her Southern charm; Karo, the stern retreat director; and overbearing Dan and sexy Sim, both staff. Dysfunctional behavior among all the characters abounds, and strange events take place. Then an avalanche seals them all from the rest of the world. Moon captures the panic when guests start to vanish. But soon Moon reveals new strength in Maeve as she fights to survive a serial killer while surrounded by grizzlies, elk, and snow.
