Do you know how you would react if you became trapped in high school, snow so deep you could'nt go anywhere and no adult supervision? This is what happened to seven teens, a mix of them that knew each other by name and three that grew up together as best friends. Four days go by as these young adults get to know each other better and their personalities combined together to survive hunger, fear, sleep deprivation and the cold. Terrified of freezing to death with no heat and only canned fruits and peanut butter and jelly to eat they fight to find ways to keep their minds focused only the only thing they have to hold onto and that is hope. On the fifth day it was discovered that no one knew where they were and that they were trapped, panic exploded within the small group of boys and girls. Chaos erupts when the weight of the snow causes the roof of the school to begin caving in on top of them and they have no where to run to so one brave boy decides to attempt facing the weather and going for help. There is an accident and he doesnt make it only leading to more bouts of fear and terror. The basketball star decides to try next at least in honor of the best friend he just lost to this natural diaster. Just when he has spent hours walking and fighting in the snow and thinking that he was lost and never going to find help he is rescued by the National Guard and he is able to tell his story about his friends that were still alive, left behind at the school that was being buried alive under the snow and the fear that they would not be able to last much longer. Did they get the help they needed?
