Synopsis[]

TIME & PLACE: December 1958 - Maw Meadows, Gulf of Maine

Act 1[]

A typical picture-perfect American family, the Thompsons, are travelling through rural snow-mounted roads during Christmas in 1958, on their way to pilgrimage the world's largest Christmas tree. However, they soon find themselves stuck out their car, after its tires have been mysteriously flattened.

The conditions are that of a white-out blizzard, a freezing cold that endangers everything it touches. The father, United States Army veteran Stewart (Chanse McCrary) exits the car, with the son Buddy Pal-Champ (Jon Matteson) following him, alongside the family's 20 year-old pet dog, Mr. Muffins (Shayne Topp). The housewife and mother, Wenda (Courtney Miller) stays in the car.

As Stewart opens the trunk and gets out the spare tire, he spots a bare silhouette breaking through the absloute sheer white horizon. After calling out to the supposed person multiple times, he comes across a near-cryonic man asking for help. Because of the man's attire, Stewart assumes him to be a fellow veteran — however, the man instead introduces himself as a Scout, before promptly freezing to death. With his last dying breath, he warns Stewart of "the kids" and "the store".

But due to Buddy and Mr. Muffins disrupting the affair, Stewart is forced out of thinking of the man's words and continues seeking a solution for their predicament. Finding the vehicle's fuel gauge nearly empty, the family leaves it behind to begin and trudge through the snowy woods in search of a temporary shelter. Soon enough, Mr. Muffins seems to have found the Scout's past footprints and begins to lead the family down their origin point.

In the wake of the waning trees and heavying sleet, a huge building (refered to by the parents as 'the Post Office') suddenly takes shape. First appearing as an abandoned warehouse, a shapless figure exits through the front doors and spills a dark liquid that melts into the snowy ground. As Buddy and Stewart call out to it, they recieve a tentative wave back.

The figure approaches them as removes its hood to reveal itself as a bearded man, politely inquiring of their circumstances. The family explains their situation, to which he gives the name of the town (Maw Meadows), before inviting them to warm up inside. When he raises the suggestion of taking Mr. Muffins away for "disease inspection", the family refuses and instead gathers as a collective, which he allows.

Act 2[]

The man dings a bell before opening the double-door to "the store", a warehouse that stands empty with nothing but one couch; a backyard grill, slowburning with wooden logs; several crates of big wooden boxes in the corner; as well as dirt and grime all over the floor, showing signs of muddy boots.

The man departs for the basement to seek a phone for the family, giving a treat for Mr. Muffins before eventually doing so. As he picks up two white buckets carrying the same dark liquid sloshing within them, Stewart questions their contents, but recieves no answer as the man simply disappears around the corner, through a cuttout frame of a double-door leading through to a long but unlit hallway.

Growing hungry, Stewart begins looking for a kitchen. Finding a cornered office, he discovers a paper-littered space with Halloween decorations still put up, and on its' table — many things that appear to be sashes, adorned with little Scout Ranger badges.

Meanwhile, at the couch overlooking the fire, a rat scurries closer to Wenda in order to warm up, to which Mr. Muffins chases after him to a little hole. The rat, whilst rapidly cursing at an apologizing Mr. Muffins, accidently lets it slip that there are children being eaten by "them" downstairs. Before he can let that go, he strikes a deal with Mr. Muffins to recieve a beef jerky in return for further information.

At the same time, Wenda comes across a beautiful seashell with a slimy mollusk tongue that tries to creep towards her foot before being smashed down by her piercing heel. As it does, gooey mush comes out it, leaking a steady trail of black liquid which flows freely along the flat cement floor of the warehouse.

Mr. Muffins returns to the sofa at the same time as Stewart and Buddy, who thwart his attempt of stealing a sandwich for the deal with the rat before he sneaks by to steal it himself, mocking his attempts before darting back to the small hole.

After the deal gets broken, Mr. Muffins decides to tell Buddy all the information he's got, making Buddy spur the family to investigate the basement. However, just as Mr. Muffins reaches what appears to be a descending staircase, he falls down and dissapears into its voided bottom^(FAIL), assumingly dying.

Act 3[]

Securing themselves together with the sashes in the dark, the rest of the surviving family find themselves walking down the staircase and realize it's slippery, the same dark liquid from before staining it in every level. Stewart supposes it to be ink or goo, making Buddy ask if it is "human". As they reach the ending, they begin to hear chanting — a bunch of people speaking in unison.

In the room before the noisy room, they meet the man from before, who tells them, in dissapointment, that they should've stayed upstairs. When the parents begin complaining, growing suspicious of Mr. Muffins' dissapearance prior to his mysterious reappearance, the man picks a wrench off the wall and tries to attack Stewart; however, Buddy manages to beat him to it, lodging his Boy Scout Swiss Army Knife deep into the mna's anterior neck, killing him.

After finding the door to the next room locked, they search his body to find a leather belt, a couple of pens in his pocket, and a necklace. The necklace is comprised of a silver chain with a little black rock at its tip and a small spiral carving on it. Stewart takes the belt around his waist before tying the necklace around Wenda's neck.

Meanwhile, Buddy takes his Boy Scout knife and transforms it into a can opener, breaking into the locks and propping open the doors with Stewart's support wrench strike.

Wenda, Stewart, and Buddy enter into the room in the middle of a massive exclamation, which is big enough not to draw the attention of the many cloaked figures, wearing dark green robes with their backs turned away. They notice the room having several lit torches placed on every wall, as well as a massively-painted spiral iconography, a lot of simliar-outlined murals, and the alien-like design of an abstract face. In the middle of it, with a man holding his hands up, there's a kiddie-pool filled to the brim with the dark liquid, and a dead reindeer hanging held within chains above it. In the corner of the room, there's a cage housing 15 Boy Scouts and their Scout Master.

Because of the family's disruption, the figures stop chanting, causing the ritual to spoil — then, the dead reindeer twitches alive and begins to murder the cult members.

While Buddy sneaks by the massacre and tries to free the Boy Scouts, Wenda grabs the wrench and Stewart begins looking for alcohol, creating a Molotov cocktail. Noticing the strange necklace beginning to flash, Wenda rushes to her son. As Buddy is targeted by the reindeer, she lifts the necklace to gain his attention, causing her to get fatally impaled instead^{(HEROIC SACRIFICE)}.

Buddy grabs the necklace while Stewart finally gets the Molotov aflame, sending it straight against the reindeer. A desperate cult member tells the two of a bus he's got in the downstairs garage before getting ravaged as well, making them rush towards it. As the two of them search for the bus's keys, Buddy finds them and ignites the engine. However, the reindeer notices him and rams into the bus, causing him to grow dizzy^{(TIMED-OUT FAIL, BUT NOT DEATH)}.

Meanwhile, Stewart, having cranked open the garage door, attempts to catch the reindeer's head in the way to decapitate him. However, before he could, Buddy rushes out of the bus and charges at the reindeer with the necklace, stabbing into its chest before getting swallowed entirely into the rest of its form^{(HEROIC SACRIFICE)}. The reindeer slows, attempting to chase after Stewart to the garage, before getting its head cut off by its door. Its' last remains trail after Stewart before going still in the snow.

Stewart, the only surviving member of the family, finds himself stuck out of the garage. Taking into the blizzard, he gets run over by an ice trucker, dying insantly^{(OUTSIDER FAIL)}.

Epilogue[]

Deep in the blizzard, Mr. Muffins shows up with a strange black trail behind him, before opening his mouth and transforming into an eldtrich horror doomed to roam the woods alone forever.
