A gruesome tragedy in a distant Nebraska winter draws together an unlikely group of strangers to face years later the consequences of what wasn't stopped in time.</span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1); background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0)>Follow a cast of misfits and spiritual outsiders as bonds form old tensions rise and something made of grief memory and frost begins to stir-one part legend one part reckoning and far more than just a snowman.</span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1); background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0)>Part occult Americana part homespun camp </span><em style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1); background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0)>Snowman</em><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1); background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0)> leans into the eerie charm of B-movie storytelling with a straight face and a wink-complete with requisite gore possession and rituals teeming with tension.
