Actress Reese Holden has been offered a small fortune by a book editor if she can secure for publication the love letters that her father, a reclusive novelist, wrote to her mother, who has since passed away. Returning to Michigan, Reese finds that an ex-grad student and a would-be musician have moved in with her father, who cares more about his new friends than he does about his own health and well-being.

I could handle the mid 2000s indie bullshit of it all, IF there was more winter like the fuckin title promised me. Doesn’t even deserve a spot in my Wintry Wonderland 2024 list.
